Quick Ratio

Adobe’s current quick ratio of 0.79x means that for every dollar of short‑term liabilities, the company holds only $0.79 in highly liquid assets (cash, marketable securities, and receivables) — a quick ratio below 1.0 suggests potential difficulty covering immediate obligations without selling inventory.

This places Adobe well below its sector peers, as the Technology sector median is 1.61x and the company ranks in the 14th percentile among those peers. Because the year‑over‑year change is reported as N/A and the quarter‑over‑quarter change is also N/A, no trend can be assessed from the available data; the only historical figure provided is the current 0.79x. The combination of a low absolute quick ratio with no trend information indicates that the metric alone signals higher short‑term liquidity risk, but without a trajectory, investors cannot gauge if this is improving or deteriorating. This liquidity risk contradicts the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as the quick ratio is notably below both the sector median and the 1.0x threshold, suggesting a specific area of concern that a neutral rating may understate. However, because quick ratio is only one financial metric and the overall verdict weighs multiple factors, this single data point does not automatically overturn the neutral stance.
