Current Ratio

The current ratio of 0.52x means the company has only $0.52 in current assets (cash, receivables, inventory) for every $1.00 of short-term liabilities due within a year, indicating a low liquidity buffer.

For context, the sector median is 1.20x, and KMI ranks in the 7th percentile among its peers, meaning 93% of peers have a higher current ratio. The year-over-year change is not available (N/A), the quarter-over-quarter change is N/A, and no trend data exists for the last eight quarters—this metric’s movement cannot be assessed from the provided data. The combination of a very low ratio and no trend information points to immediate liquidity risk, as the company may struggle to meet near-term obligations, though the absence of deterioration offers no additional warning. This metric contradicts the overall NEUTRAL verdict because a current ratio far below the sector median and near the bottom of the peer group signals financial strain that a neutral rating typically does not reflect.
