The current ratio for Foot Locker Inc has been relatively stable over the past two years, ranging between 1.36 and 2.00. This indicates that the company's current assets are generally sufficient to cover its current liabilities.
On the other hand, the quick ratio has shown more variability, with values fluctuating between 0.12 and 1.53. This suggests that the company's ability to meet its short-term obligations with its most liquid assets (such as cash and accounts receivable) has been more inconsistent.
The cash ratio, which is the most stringent measure of liquidity, has also fluctuated over the same period, ranging from 0.12 to 1.53. Despite some variability, the cash ratio generally indicates the company's ability to cover its current liabilities solely with its cash and cash equivalents.
Overall, while the current ratio suggests Foot Locker Inc has adequate liquidity in the short term, the lower values of the quick and cash ratios at certain points emphasize the importance of monitoring the company's ability to meet its immediate financial obligations with its most liquid assets.
