Deep Analysis
The quick ratio measures whether a company can cover its short-term debts with its most liquid assets, such as cash and receivables, without selling inventory.
At 0.80x, BOX has only $0.80 of liquid assets for every $1.00 of current liabilities, meaning it would fall short of full coverage if all bills came due at once. This sits below the technology sector median of 1.24x and ranks at the 25th percentile, so most peers hold a larger liquidity cushion. The year-over-year change is N/A and the quarter-over-quarter change is N/A, so no trend direction is available for the last 8 quarters. With a low level and no trend to show improvement, the immediate liquidity risk is elevated, though the absence of history prevents a forward-looking read. This metric supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict, as the sub-1.0x ratio points to a tighter cash position than typical sector peers.
