YELP Current Ratio Analysis

Yelp’s current ratio of 1.74x means the company has $1.74 in current assets—cash, receivables, and inventory expected to convert to cash within a year—for every $1 of short-term liabilities due within the same period, indicating a generally healthy liquidity position.

This sits slightly below the Communication Services sector median of 1.85x, placing Yelp at the 44th percentile among its sector peers, meaning 56% of peer companies have a higher current ratio. Trend data is not available: the year-over-year change is listed as N/A, the quarter-over-quarter change is N/A, and no historical values beyond the current figure are provided, so no direction can be inferred. The absence of any trend information, combined with a current ratio that is modestly below the sector median, suggests no clear improvement or deterioration in short-term financial health, limiting the ability to assess momentum in liquidity risk. This neutral level—neither dangerously low nor exceptionally high—supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict on the stock, as the metric neither signals an urgent liquidity concern nor indicates excess cash that could be deployed for growth.
