Quick Ratio

The quick ratio measures a company's ability to pay short-term liabilities with its most liquid assets, excluding inventory; a ratio of 1.0x indicates it has exactly enough liquid assets to cover current obligations.

BKNG's quick ratio of 0.99x is slightly below that 1.0x threshold, meaning it is just short of fully covering short-term debts with cash and equivalents. This compares favorably to the sector median of 0.70x, placing BKNG in the 72nd percentile among Consumer Cyclical peers, so it is more liquid than most competitors. No trend data is available: the year-over-year change and quarter-over-quarter change are both listed as N/A, and the historical values show only the current 0.99x. Without a trend to assess direction, the level alone suggests a low immediate liquidity risk, as the ratio is near 1.0x and well above the sector median. This supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict because the quick ratio is neither alarmingly low nor exceptionally strong, aligning with a balanced risk profile.
