Deep Analysis

The current ratio measures a company's ability to pay short-term obligations with short-term assets; at 1.12x, WAB has $1.12 of current assets for every $1.00 of current liabilities.

This sits below the sector median of 1.24x, placing WAB at the 40th percentile among peers, meaning about 60% of peers have higher liquidity. The year-over-year change is not available, but the quarter-over-quarter change is +9.8%, improving from 1.02x to 1.12x in the most recent period. The combination of a below-median level with a recent upward move implies moderate short-term liquidity risk that is currently easing, offering a modest opportunity rather than a clear warning. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict: the level is somewhat weak versus peers, but the positive quarterly trend prevents it from tilting the assessment bearish.
