Quick Ratio

BP’s quick ratio of 0.67x means the company has $0.67 in cash, marketable securities, and accounts receivable for every $1 of current liabilities due within a year — a measure of short-term liquidity.

This sits above the Energy sector median of 0.52x, placing BP in the 63rd percentile among peers, indicating a stronger liquidity position than most competitors. The year-over-year change is not available, but the quarter-over-quarter change of -2.9% shows a slight decline from the prior quarter’s 0.69x. Because the quick ratio remains above the sector median while trending downward, the combination suggests a modest near-term liquidity cushion that is slowly eroding — neither a pressing risk nor a clear opportunity. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict: the above-median level is reassuring, but the negative quarterly drift keeps the view balanced rather than bullish or bearish.
