Deep Analysis
The current ratio of 0.92x means that for every dollar of short-term liabilities, SBUX has only $0.92 in short-term assets, indicating it may struggle to cover immediate obligations.
This sits below the sector median of 1.21x, placing the company in the 27th percentile among peers—meaning nearly three-quarters of competitors have better short-term liquidity. Trend data is not available, as the year-over-year change and quarter-over-quarter change are both marked as N/A, so no pattern can be inferred from recent shifts. The low ratio combined with the absence of trend information points to elevated near-term risk, as the company already operates below the coverage threshold without any directional evidence of improvement. This metric directly supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict, since a current ratio well under the peer median and within the lower quartile signals a weakness in liquidity that investors should consider.
