Current ratio
The current ratio compares a company’s short-term assets to its short-term liabilities — a quick check on whether it can cover its near-term bills.
The current ratio divides current assets (cash, receivables, inventory — things convertible to cash within a year) by current liabilities (bills due within a year). A ratio above 1.0 means a company has more short-term assets than short-term obligations; below 1.0 can signal a liquidity squeeze.
It is a basic liquidity and solvency check. A very low current ratio may mean a company could struggle to meet near-term obligations, while an extremely high one can mean cash is sitting idle rather than being put to work. As with all ratios, the healthy range depends on the industry and the business model.
