Quick Ratio

The quick ratio measures a company's ability to pay short-term debts using its most liquid assets (cash, marketable securities, and receivables), with a value above 1.0x generally considered healthy.

Builders FirstSource's current 0.71x is slightly above the Industrials sector median of 0.68x, placing it in the 54th percentile among its peers. Because the year-over-year change and quarter-over-quarter change are both listed as N/A, there is no trend information available to assess whether the ratio is improving or deteriorating. The combination of a quick ratio near the sector median with no directional data offers little insight into near-term liquidity risk, creating neither a clear opportunity nor a red flag. This metric neither supports nor contradicts the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as it simply confirms that the company's liquidity position is in line with its industry peers without any observable momentum.
