Deep Analysis
The current ratio of 0.98x means JBL has $0.98 in current assets for every $1.00 of current liabilities, indicating it barely covers short-term obligations.
This sits below the sector median of 1.20x and places JBL in the 31st percentile among its peers, meaning most competitors have stronger liquidity. The year-over-year change is not available, but the quarter-over-quarter change shows a decline of 3.0% from the prior quarter's 1.01x. A current ratio under 1.0x combined with a downward trend signals elevated short-term liquidity risk, as liabilities exceed assets and the margin is shrinking. This metric directly supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict, since weak and deteriorating liquidity raises the chance of difficulty meeting near-term debts.
