Quick Ratio

The quick ratio measures a company's ability to cover its short-term liabilities with its most liquid assets (cash, marketable securities, and receivables, excluding inventory).

At 0.27x, Aon has less than 30 cents in liquid assets for every dollar of current liabilities, indicating low short-term liquidity. This sits well below the sector median of 0.60x and places the company in the 24th percentile among Financial Services peers, meaning 76% of peers have a higher quick ratio. Trend data is not available (N/A) for the year-over-year change, quarter-over-quarter change, or the last eight quarters, so no directional insight can be drawn. The combination of a low absolute quick ratio with no trend information suggests a potential liquidity risk, but without knowing whether this level is stable or declining, the risk cannot be fully evaluated. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict because the weak liquidity position is offset by the absence of trend data, leaving the stock’s risk profile as balanced rather than clearly positive or negative.
