Quick Ratio

Accenture’s quick ratio of 1.20x means it has $1.20 in highly liquid assets (cash, marketable securities, receivables) for every $1 of current liabilities, indicating a comfortable ability to cover short-term debts without relying on inventory sales.

This is slightly below the technology sector median of 1.29x, placing Accenture at the 39th percentile among its peers, so its liquidity position is weaker than most sector competitors. The metric has remained exactly flat over the past eight quarters, with a year-over-year change of +0.0% and a quarter-over-quarter change of +0.0%, confirming a stable trend. The combination of a below-median level and zero movement suggests no immediate liquidity risk but also no improvement, offering neither a clear opportunity nor a red flag for risk-focused investors. This stable but middling quick ratio supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as it aligns with a balanced risk profile that does not tilt strongly toward strength or weakness.
