it does not necessarily mean that it will go bankrupt " as there are many ways to access financing " but it is definitely not a good sign The current ratio can give a sense of the efficiency of a companyHs operating cycle or its ability to turn its product into cash Companies that have trouble getting paid on their receivables or have long inventory turnover can run into li'uidity problems because they are unable to alleviate their obligations :ecause business operations differ in each industry! it is always more useful to compare companies within the same industry Globe+s current ratio has gone lower than its performance in the past years %s it is said above! it is not a bad thing but it is not good either % good look at the financials also shows that dividends are being paid back to shareholders consistently -urther! there has been maCor e*penditures in their telecommunications hardware (the 7G compliance rollout) The lower ratio therefore is not a case of fund mismanagement ?hile there is an e*pected low ratio result even for the 0118 report!
