Quick Ratio

With a quick ratio of 0.19x, Arthur J.

Gallagher has only $0.19 of liquid assets (cash and receivables) for every $1 of short-term liabilities, indicating very low near-term liquidity. This sits well below the Financial Services sector median of 0.60x and places the company in the 13th percentile among peers, meaning 87% of competitors have stronger quick ratios. The trend data for this metric is not available — the year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter changes are both listed as N/A, and no historical values beyond the current figure are provided. Because the level is already critically low and there is no trend information to assess improvement or deterioration, the risk lies in the company’s limited ability to cover immediate obligations without selling inventory or raising capital. This low liquidity position contradicts the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as it introduces a specific vulnerability that would typically warrant a more cautious stance.
