Deep Analysis
The current ratio of 0.65x means the company has only $0.65 in current assets for every $1.00 of short-term liabilities, indicating a potential liquidity challenge.
This is well below the sector median of 1.20x, placing SO in the 11th percentile among peers — meaning 89% of sector companies have a higher current ratio. Trend data are not available: both the year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter changes are listed as N/A, and no directional movement can be assessed. Without a trend, the low level alone implies elevated near-term risk because the company lacks a cushion to cover debts due within a year. That risk partially supports the NEUTRAL overall verdict, as the metric highlights a weakness that other positive factors would need to offset for a more favorable rating.
