While ratios vary by industry and circumstances, healthy companies generally have ratios between 1.5 and 3.

A high current ratio is not necessarily a good thing. The company may be inefficiently using its current assets or short-term financing facilities.

While a low current ratio (values less than 1) may indicate that a firm is having difficulty meeting current obligations, it may also reflect the organizations ability to borrow against good prospects to meet current obligations. Strong businesses that can turn inventory faster than due dates on their accounts payable may also have a current ratio less than one.
