Deep Analysis
Amazon's quick ratio of 1.01x means it has $1.01 of liquid current assets (cash, receivables, etc.) for every $1 of current liabilities, indicating it can comfortably cover its short-term obligations.
This ratio sits well above the sector median of 0.75x, placing Amazon in the 76th percentile among Consumer Cyclical peers. The trend is perfectly stable, with no year-over-year change (+0.0%) and no quarter-over-quarter change (+0.0%) across the last eight quarters. A quick ratio above 1.0x combined with a flat trend signals low liquidity risk but also reveals no recent momentum in improving or weakening this safety buffer. This stable, above-median level supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict — the metric is adequate but does not offer a clear positive or negative signal to shift the rating.
