Typically, short-term creditors will prefer a high current ratio because it reduces their overall risk. However, investors may prefer a lower current ratio since they are more concerned about growing the business using assets of the company. Acceptable current ratios may vary from one sector to another, but the generally accepted benchmark is to have current assets at least twice current liabilities (i.e., Current Ratio of 2 to 1). This Current Ratio figure for Cognizant Technology is based on recent reported data. All data reflects publicly available financial reports.
