Current Ratio

The current ratio measures a company’s ability to pay short-term liabilities with short-term assets; a ratio of 1.53x means TMO has $1.53 in current assets for every $1 of current liabilities.

Among Healthcare sector peers, the median current ratio is 2.02x, placing TMO at the 36th percentile — meaning it is below average in short-term liquidity compared to similar firms. No trend data is available: the year-over-year change is N/A, and the quarter-over-quarter change is N/A, so the ratio’s stability over time cannot be assessed from the provided figures. The combination of a below-median current ratio and a flat trend suggests a moderate liquidity risk but no immediate deterioration, which typically warrants caution rather than alarm. This metric does not contradict the overall NEUTRAL verdict — the lower liquidity is a concerning factor, but without a downward trend it does not justify a bearish stance, leaving the stock in a balanced position.
