Quick Ratio

The Quick Ratio of 1.62x means Applied Materials holds $1.62 of liquid assets (cash, marketable securities, receivables) for every $1 of current liabilities, a measure of its short-term financial health.

This sits just above the technology sector median of 1.61x, placing AMAT at the 51st percentile among sector peers. Because year-over-year, quarter-over-quarter, and the eight-quarter trend are all reported as N/A, no historical direction is available to judge improvement or deterioration. The combination of a level essentially equal to the sector median with no trend data implies neither elevated risk nor opportunity from a liquidity standpoint. Given the overall NEUTRAL verdict, this metric directly supports that assessment by showing Applied Materials is fundamentally in line with its peers without providing a bullish or bearish signal.
