Stockopedia explains Current Ratio

This measure is used to determine the ability of a company to meet its current liabilities. If the ratio falls below 1, it means that the company has fewer current assets than current liabilities and that it may struggle to meet its current liabilities in the coming months.

This metric is calculated using balance sheet values from the same interim financial period as the current quarter, except from the previous year. For example, if the most recent quarter was Q2 for 2016, this ratio would represent the value for Q2 2015.
