Quick Ratio

Baidu’s quick ratio of 0.53x means the company has only $0.53 of highly liquid assets—like cash and receivables—for every $1 of short-term liabilities, signaling a thin buffer to cover upcoming obligations.

This ratio sits far below the Communication Services sector median of 1.44x, placing Baidu in the 11th percentile among peers, indicating it is one of the least liquid companies in its sector. No trend data is available because the year-over-year change, quarter-over-quarter change, and last eight quarters are all marked N/A, with only the current 0.53x provided. The combination of a very low quick ratio and no observable trend suggests elevated liquidity risk, as there is no evidence of recent improvement or deterioration to guide expectations. This high short-term risk contradicts any bullish stance and supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict by tempering the stock’s appeal, as investors would require offsetting factors to justify the weak liquidity position.
