The current ratio of MasterBrand Inc. has been fluctuating throughout the year 2024. As of March 31, 2024, the current ratio was 2.06, indicating that the company had more than double current assets compared to current liabilities, suggesting strong short-term liquidity. The ratio further improved to 2.24 by June 30, 2024, reflecting even stronger liquidity position.

However, there was a slight decline in the current ratio by September 30, 2024, as it decreased to 1.82.
