While a current ratio above 1.0 is generally considered healthy, the downward trend over the last two years is worth noting. A high current ratio suggests that the company should be able to meet its short-term obligations comfortably. However, a significant increase in the current ratio could indicate that the company is carrying excess levels of current assets, which may not be efficiently utilized.
