Deep Analysis
The quick ratio measures a company's ability to pay short-term obligations with its most liquid assets, and at 1.00x, Bio-Rad has exactly one dollar of quick assets for every dollar of current liabilities.
This sits below the Healthcare sector median of 1.14x, placing the company at the 45th percentile among sector peers. The year-over-year change is not available, but the quarter-over-quarter change shows a decline of 2.0%, with the metric moving from 1.02x to 1.00x. A ratio at 1.00x indicates adequate short-term coverage, though the slight quarterly decline and below-median position leave little excess cushion. The combination of a near-parity liquidity level and a small downward move implies modest risk, but not a near-term solvency concern. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as it neither strongly strengthens nor weakens the investment case.
