Rio Tinto current ratio trends
Over the last five fiscal years, Rio Tinto's current ratio decreased from 1.80 to 1.44, a change of −0.35. The latest reported quarter, Q2 2026, shows 1.42.
What the current ratio means
The current ratio compares short-term assets with obligations due within roughly one year. A higher ratio generally indicates more short-term balance-sheet coverage, but normal levels vary by industry and business model.
How the current ratio is calculated
TickerStat calculates the current ratio as SEC-reported current assets divided by SEC-reported current liabilities for the same balance-sheet date. Periods without a positive current-liability value are omitted. Fiscal periods can differ from calendar years, so exact period-end dates are included.
