Deep Analysis
The current ratio of 1.64x means VLO holds $1.64 in current assets—like cash and inventory—for every $1.00 in current liabilities due within a year.
At 1.64x, VLO sits above the sector median of 1.21x and ranks in the 69th percentile among peers, indicating better short-term liquidity than most. The year-over-year change is not available, but quarter-over-quarter the ratio rose 3.8%, from 1.58x to 1.64x. Because the level is above the sector median and the latest quarter shows improvement, the liquidity position appears adequate and slightly strengthening. However, with no longer-term trend data, this gives only a limited signal about future risk or opportunity. The metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as the ratio implies financial flexibility without pointing to an outsized upside or downside.
