Deep Analysis

The current ratio of 1.01x means that for every $1 of short-term liabilities, the company has $1.01 in short-term assets—barely enough to cover its immediate obligations.

Compared to the sector median of 1.19x, NDAQ sits below the midpoint at the 34th percentile among peers. Year-over-year change is not available, but quarter-over-quarter the ratio improved by +1.0%, moving from 1.00x to 1.01x. The combination of a near‑breakeven level and a marginal upward trend points to limited liquidity risk, though the margin of safety remains thin. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as the current ratio is neither alarming nor particularly strong, consistent with a balanced risk profile.
