TGT Current Ratio Analysis

The current ratio measures whether a company can cover its short-term obligations with its short-term assets; a value of 0.93x means Target has $0.93 in current assets for every $1.00 of current liabilities due within a year.

This sits below the sector median of 1.24x, placing the company at the 28th percentile among peers, indicating weaker short-term liquidity than most comparable firms. The trend data is not available, as both the year-over-year change and quarter-over-quarter change are listed as N/A, and there is no historical series beyond the single current value. With a ratio under 1.0x and no trend to assess, the level alone signals elevated liquidity risk, but it does not necessarily imply imminent distress if cash flows or credit access compensate. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict because it highlights a relative weakness in balance-sheet flexibility without providing enough trend evidence to justify a more bearish stance.
