Deep Analysis

At 0.48x, TSN has 48 cents of liquid assets for every dollar of current liabilities. That sits below the sector median of 0.72x and places TSN at the 28th percentile among sector peers, meaning most peers hold more liquidity per liability. The year-over-year change is not available, but the quarter-over-quarter change is -20.0%, falling from 0.60x to 0.48x. The combination of a below-median level and a steep quarterly decline points to tighter short-term liquidity, which raises the risk of strain if obligations come due quickly.
