The current ratio of Burlington Stores Inc has shown a downward trend over the past five years, decreasing from 1.49 in January 30, 2021 to 1.16 in February 1, 2025. This indicates that the company's liquidity position has weakened, as its current assets may be becoming less sufficient to cover its current liabilities. While a current ratio above 1 signifies that the company has more current assets than current liabilities, the declining trend suggests a potential liquidity risk that may require further attention and monitoring.
