WFC Current Ratio Analysis

Wells Fargo’s current ratio of 0.34x means the company has only $0.34 in current assets (such as cash or receivables) for every $1.00 of current liabilities due within a year, indicating a very tight liquidity position.

Compared to sector peers, this ratio is well below the median of 1.21x and places Wells Fargo in the 4th percentile, meaning only 4% of peers have an even lower ratio. Trend data are not available: year-over-year change, quarter-over-quarter change, and the eight-quarter trend are all listed as N/A, so no directional insight can be drawn from historical movement. The combination of an extremely low current ratio and no trend information suggests elevated short-term financial risk, as the company appears illiquid relative to its obligations and peers. This metric contradicts the overall NEUTRAL verdict, since a ratio this low typically signals distress, but the neutral rating implies that other factors (such as strong cash flow or access to capital) may offset the concern.
