The current ratio of Nabors Industries Ltd has shown fluctuations over the past few years, ranging from a high of 2.86 in December 2021 to a low of 1.36 in December 2023. Generally, a current ratio above 1 indicates that the company can meet its short-term obligations with its current assets.

The current ratio peaked in December 2021, suggesting strong short-term liquidity and ability to cover its current liabilities. However, the ratio declined thereafter, reaching its lowest point in December 2023.
