Deep Analysis

A current ratio of 1.14x means MCD has $1.14 in short-term assets for every $1 of short-term liabilities, a basic measure of its ability to pay bills due within a year.

This sits below the sector median of 1.24x, placing MCD at the 42nd percentile among peers, so its liquidity is slightly weaker than typical for its sector. The metric has no trend data available: the year-over-year change is N/A, and the quarter-over-quarter change is also N/A, leaving the historical series as only 1.14x. With a level modestly below the median and no trend to show improvement or deterioration, the investment risk is roughly average on this specific balance-sheet dimension. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict because MCD’s current ratio is neither a standout strength nor a clear weakness.
