Deep Analysis
A quick ratio of 0.40x means Boot Barn has only $0.40 in liquid assets (cash, marketable securities, and receivables) for every $1.00 of current liabilities due within a year — a low cushion to cover short-term debts.
This ratio places the company well below its sector peers, as the Consumer Cyclical median is 0.76x, and Boot Barn sits at the 18th percentile among those peers. Historical trend data is not available: the year-over-year change, quarter-over-quarter change, and last-eight-quarter direction are all marked as N/A, so no trend can be assessed. The combination of a very low quick ratio with no trend history signals a high dependence on inventory or other non-liquid current assets to meet obligations, which elevates liquidity risk for investors. This metric directly contradicts the overall NEUTRAL verdict on the stock, because a quick ratio this far below the sector median — especially without any trending data to show improvement — points to a potential financial weakness that warrants caution.
