Deep Analysis

The current ratio of 1.61x means the company holds $1.61 in current assets for every $1.00 of current liabilities, measuring its ability to pay short-term debts over the next year.

Among sector peers, the median current ratio is 1.21x, and the company sits at the 68th percentile, indicating it has a stronger liquidity position than the majority of similar firms. No historical trend data is available—the year-over-year change is listed as N/A, the quarter-over-quarter change is N/A, and there are no values for the last eight quarters. Without a trend, the assessment relies solely on the current level. The combination of a ratio above the sector median and the absence of trend data suggests low immediate liquidity risk, but offers no insight into whether liquidity is improving or weakening. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict: the current ratio is favorable versus peers, yet the lack of direction prevents a bullish or bearish lean.
