The current ratio measures a company's ability to meet its short-term obligations with its current assets. A current ratio above 1 indicates that a company has more current assets than current liabilities, which is generally considered favorable. Conversely, a current ratio below 1 may suggest a company is unable to easily cover its short-term liabilities.

Coterra Energy's current ratio has generally remained above 1 in recent periods, indicating the company has had sufficient current assets to cover its short-term obligations.

It is important to monitor Coterra Energy's current ratio closely to assess its ongoing liquidity health and ability to meet its immediate financial obligations. A current ratio below industry averages or consistently declining ratios may signal potential financial distress or inefficiencies in managing working capital.
