The current ratio for Vistra Corp has fluctuated over the past five years, ranging from 0.90 in 2019 to 1.35 in 2021. A current ratio above 1 indicates that the company's current assets exceed its current liabilities, suggesting a relatively strong liquidity position. However, a declining trend from 2021 to 2022 followed by a slight increase in 2023 may indicate a potential strain on the company's short-term liquidity. It is important for Vistra Corp to closely monitor its current ratio to ensure it remains at a healthy level to meet its short-term obligations effectively.
