Deep Analysis
The current ratio of 1.14x means TJX has $1.14 in current assets (like cash and inventory) for every $1.00 of short-term liabilities due within a year, indicating a modest ability to cover short-term obligations.
This sits below the sector median of 1.21x, placing TJX in the 44th percentile among its peers, meaning slightly more than half of competitors have a higher liquidity cushion. Trend data is not provided: the year-over-year change is N/A and the quarter-over-quarter change is N/A, so no directional insight is available from recent history. Because the ratio is below the median and no trend exists to show improvement or deterioration, the metric implies average liquidity risk — not a clear red flag, but not a strength either. The current ratio supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as it neither signals exceptional safety nor alarming weakness, aligning with a balanced assessment.
