LYB Current Ratio Analysis

The current ratio of 1.54x measures how many times a company’s current assets cover its current liabilities — a value above 1.0 generally indicates enough short-term assets to pay short-term debts.

This reading sits above the sector median of 1.21x, placing LYB in the 66th percentile among peers, meaning it has stronger liquidity than most competitors in its industry. Over the last eight quarters the trend is decreasing, though year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter changes are not available for this period; the most recent values show a drop from 1.77x to 1.54x (with one prior data point reported as 0.00x). A current ratio that is above the sector median but trending lower suggests that while the company’s short-term liquidity is still comfortable, the declining trajectory may point to tightening working capital or rising liabilities. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict because the liquidity position is adequate relative to peers, but the decreasing trend tempers any bullish case.
