Current Ratio

MDLZ’s current ratio of 0.54x means the company has only $0.54 in current assets—cash, receivables, and inventory—for every $1 of short-term liabilities, signaling potential difficulty covering upcoming obligations.

This is sharply below the sector median of 1.20x and places MDLZ in the 8th percentile among sector peers, indicating one of the lowest liquidity positions in its group. The trend data is not available: the year-over-year change, quarter-over-quarter change, and last 8 quarters are all listed as N/A, so no directional conclusion can be drawn from history. The combination of a very low current ratio with no trend information suggests a current liquidity risk that is not confirmed as improving or worsening, creating a watchful scenario for investors. This metric directly contradicts the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as a ratio well below 1.0x typically raises a red flag about financial flexibility, yet the absence of trend data leaves the assessment reliant on this single weak data point.
