Quick Ratio

The quick ratio measures a company's ability to cover its short-term obligations using its most liquid assets (cash, marketable securities, and receivables), and Akamai's current 1.75x means it has $1.75 of liquid assets for every $1 of current liabilities.

This ratio sits above the sector median of 1.61x and places the company in the 58th percentile among its Technology peers, indicating slightly better liquidity than a typical peer. The year-over-year change is not available, the quarter-over-quarter change is not available, and the trend for the last eight quarters is also not available, so no directional signal can be drawn from the metric's movement. The combination of a quick ratio above the sector median (moderately favorable) with no trend data leaves the liquidity picture stable but unremarkable for assessing future risk or opportunity. This metric supports the NEUTRAL verdict: it does not flag any liquidity stress nor does it suggest exceptional strength that would warrant an upgrade or downgrade.
