BEAM Quick Ratio Analysis

The quick ratio of 2.72x means BEAM holds $2.72 in highly liquid assets—like cash and receivables—for every $1 of short-term debt, showing it can cover immediate obligations without selling inventory.

Against peers, this is well above the sector median of 0.72x, placing BEAM at the 94th percentile. The metric has no available year-over-year change (N/A), but it fell 29.7% quarter over quarter, dropping from 3.87x to 2.72x. Although the current level remains high, that sharp quarterly decline signals a weakening liquidity cushion. The combination of a strong level with a fast downward move creates a mixed risk profile: near-term safety is intact, but the trajectory merits watching. This supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict, as the falling ratio adds a layer of uncertainty despite still-leading liquidity.
