Deep Analysis

The current ratio of 0.65x means the company has $0.65 in current assets for every $1.00 of current liabilities due within a year, indicating potential difficulty covering short-term obligations.

Among Consumer Cyclical peers, the sector median is 1.44x, placing JACK at the 5th percentile — meaning 95% of peers have a higher current ratio. No year-over-year or quarter-over-quarter change is available, and no trend direction over the last eight quarters can be cited because this is a single data point. The combination of an extremely low current ratio with no trend data to show improvement or deterioration suggests elevated short-term liquidity risk, with no evidence of a path to a healthier level. This metric directly supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict, as the current ratio is far below both the sector median and a typical 1.0x threshold for basic coverage.
