Current Ratio

The current ratio of 1.69x measures how many times a company’s current assets can cover its current liabilities, indicating short-term liquidity.

HST’s 1.69x sits above the sector median of 1.21x, placing it in the 70th percentile among peers—meaning it has stronger liquidity than most companies in its group. Because year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter changes are both listed as N/A, and no prior data is available, a trend cannot be established from this single observation. The combination of a ratio above the sector median with no trend information suggests a stable liquidity position, but the lack of historical context prevents assessing whether this level is improving or deteriorating. This liquidity strength reduces near-term default risk, yet the absence of trend data limits the ability to identify a clear opportunity or hidden risk. The metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict because it shows adequate coverage relative to peers but does not provide enough directional insight to warrant a bullish or bearish stance.
