Deep Analysis
A current ratio of 0.91x means WM has 91 cents of short-term assets for every dollar of short-term liabilities, a liquidity position below the 1.0x break-even mark.
This trails the sector median of 1.25x, placing WM at the 26th percentile among peers, meaning roughly three-quarters of comparable companies have stronger short-term coverage. The year-over-year change is N/A, and the quarter-over-quarter decline is -2.2%, reflecting a slight tightening from the prior reading of 0.93x. The combination of a below-peer level and a downward quarterly move points to a modest liquidity risk that could constrain flexibility, but it does not yet signal distress. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict because the low and slightly weakening ratio offsets any positive aspects without forcing an outright bearish stance.
