Deep Analysis
A current ratio of 1.14x means Netflix holds $1.14 in current assets for every $1.00 of current liabilities, a basic measure of short-term liquidity.
That sits well below the sector median of 1.85x, placing the company in the 12th percentile among Communication Services peers. The year-over-year change is N/A, and the ratio fell 19.1% from the prior quarter, though only two data points are available to establish a trend. The combination of a below-median level and a sharp quarterly decline points to tighter near-term liquidity than most competitors, which increases financial risk if cash inflows slow. However, the absolute ratio above 1.0x still means current assets cover current obligations, so the immediate solvency risk is limited. This metric contradicts the overall NEUTRAL verdict by leaning toward a more cautious view, but it does not alone overturn the assessment.
