Current ratio = Total current assets ÷ Total current liabilities
= $1,356,020K ÷ $1,208,140K
= 1.12

The current ratio of Tetra Tech Inc has shown a declining trend over the past five years, from 1.40 in 2019 to 1.12 in 2023. This indicates a potential weakening in the company's short-term liquidity position.

A current ratio below 1 would suggest that the company may have difficulties meeting its short-term obligations with its current assets alone. However, Tetra Tech Inc's current ratio has remained above 1 in all years, indicating that the company has had sufficient current assets to cover its current liabilities.

Although a current ratio of 1.12 in 2023 may raise some concerns about the company's ability to meet its short-term obligations, it is essential to consider other factors and industry standards to obtain a comprehensive assessment of Tetra Tech Inc's financial health. It would be valuable to analyze the trend in conjunction with other financial ratios and financial performance indicators to gain a more comprehensive understanding.
