Deep Analysis

The current ratio of 1.25x means PFE has $1.25 in current assets for every $1 of current liabilities, indicating its ability to cover short-term obligations.

This ratio sits just above the sector median of 1.21x, placing the company in the 52nd percentile among peers. The year-over-year change is not available, the quarter-over-quarter change is not available, and no trend direction can be assessed from the last eight quarters because historical data is limited to a single value. Without a trend, the level alone—near the sector median—implies average liquidity risk with no clear improvement or deterioration. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as PFE’s current liquidity is essentially in line with its industry peers.
