Deep Analysis
A quick ratio of 0.68x means the company has $0.68 of liquid assets (cash, marketable securities, and receivables) for every $1 of short-term liabilities—a measure of short-term financial health.
At 0.68x, Avery Dennison sits just below the industrials sector median of 0.69x and lands in the 48th percentile among peers, indicating it is nearly average in liquidity relative to the sector. No trend data is available: the year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter changes are both marked as N/A, and there are no historical figures for the last eight quarters to assess direction. With a ratio slightly below 1.0x, the company may face modest pressure to cover current obligations from liquid assets, but the absence of trend information prevents evaluating whether this position is improving or deteriorating. Because the level is in line with sector norms and no negative trend exists, the liquidity risk appears contained. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as it neither highlights a clear vulnerability nor a competitive advantage.
