Current Ratio

The current ratio of 0.83x means that for every dollar of short-term debt or liabilities, LIN holds only $0.83 in current assets like cash and receivables — a reading below 1.0x signals potential liquidity pressure.

This sits well below the sector median of 1.20x, placing LIN in the 21st percentile among its peers, indicating weaker short-term financial flexibility than about 79% of comparable companies. Because the year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter changes are both listed as N/A, there is no trend data to assess whether this low ratio is improving or worsening. The combination of a below-1.0x level with no observable trend leaves the investment risk unclear: the low ratio alone hints at liquidity vulnerability, but without direction, it is impossible to gauge if that risk is rising or fading. This metric does not contradict the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as the lack of trend data prevents a bearish or bullish tilt from the ratio alone — the low current ratio is a cautionary signal, but not decisive without a trajectory.
