Deep Analysis
The quick ratio measures a company’s ability to cover short-term liabilities with its most liquid assets—cash, marketable securities, and receivables—excluding inventory.
At 0.67x, Bath & Body Works has less than $0.67 of liquid assets for every $1 of short-term debt, indicating potential liquidity strain. This sits below the consumer cyclical sector median of 0.75x, placing the company at the 42nd percentile among peers. Trend data is limited: the trend direction over the last eight quarters is not available, the year-over-year change is also not available, and the quarter-over-quarter change is -5.6%. The combination of a below-median quick ratio and a declining quarterly trend suggests increased short-term financial risk. This metric contradicts the overall BULLISH verdict, as the weakening liquidity position does not support a positive outlook.
