Deep Analysis
The current ratio measures a company's ability to pay short-term obligations with its current assets; a value of 1.00x means assets exactly cover liabilities.
This sits below the sector median of 1.25x and lands at the 32nd percentile among peers, indicating weaker liquidity than most. The year-over-year change is not available, but the quarter-over-quarter change is -3.8%, and no eight-quarter trend is available; historical values show a drop from 1.04x to 1.00x. The combination of a 1.00x level and a recent decline implies rising short-term risk, though the lack of longer trend data limits the severity of that conclusion. This metric supports the neutral verdict: the ratio is not dangerously low, but it is below the peer median and moving in an unfavorable direction.
