Questions, answered.

What is Southern Company's current ratio?
Southern Company (SO) reported current ratio of 0.7× in Q1 2026.

Whether the company has enough short-term assets to cover its short-term bills.

Above 1.0 means short-term assets cover short-term liabilities. Very high values can signal idle cash or bloated inventory/receivables rather than strength — there's a healthy middle, not 'more is better'.
How does current ratio compare across companies?
Comparable within an industry. Working-capital-light businesses can operate safely below 1.0 by collecting before they pay.
