Current Ratio

A current ratio of 0.92x means the company has only $0.92 in current assets (like cash and receivables) for every $1.00 of current liabilities due within a year—a level below 1.0x often signals potential short-term liquidity pressure.

This sits well below the sector median of 1.21x, placing UNP in the 27th percentile among its peers, indicating weaker coverage of near-term obligations relative to the industry. No trend data is available: the year-over-year change is N/A, the quarter-over-quarter change is N/A, and only a single historical value of 0.92x is provided, making it impossible to assess direction. Because the ratio is already low and there is no trend to confirm improvement or deterioration, the combination elevates uncertainty about the company’s ability to meet short-term debts, increasing risk for investors focused on financial stability. This metric directly contradicts an outright bullish stance but does not override the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as a single weak liquidity ratio without trend context is insufficient to shift the rating alone.
