BABA Quick Ratio Analysis

A quick ratio of 0.35x means BABA has only $0.35 of liquid assets (like cash and receivables) for every $1 of current liabilities due within a year, signaling tight short-term liquidity.

That sits well below the sector median of 0.69x, placing BABA at the 22nd percentile among Consumer Cyclical peers, so most competitors hold more cash-like coverage. The trend data is N/A: both the year-over-year change and the quarter-over-quarter change are unavailable, leaving no evidence of improvement or deterioration over time. With a low level and no trend to confirm direction, the main risk is that BABA could struggle to meet near-term obligations if cash flow tightens; the opportunity is that a single snapshot may miss seasonal or working-capital dynamics. This metric supports the NEUTRAL verdict because the weak liquidity level is a concern, but the absence of trend data prevents a bearish call. It contradicts any positive read, yet it does not override the broader neutral stance on the stock.
