Quick Ratio

Broadridge Financial Solutions' quick ratio of 0.85x means the company has $0.85 of cash, marketable securities, and receivables for every $1 of short-term liabilities, indicating a lower buffer to pay immediate debts without selling inventory.

This ratio sits well below the technology sector median of 1.29x, placing Broadridge in the 13th percentile — meaning 87% of sector peers have a higher quick ratio. The metric has been perfectly stable, with year-over-year change of +0.0%, quarter-over-quarter change of +0.0%, and an identical 0.85x value in each of the last eight quarters. The combination of a low absolute level and a flat trend suggests that while Broadridge consistently operates with less liquid coverage than most technology peers, the lack of deterioration reduces the risk of a sudden liquidity crunch. Still, a ratio below 1.0x leaves little margin for error if short-term obligations rise or cash inflows slow. This metric mildly contradicts the overall NEUTRAL verdict because the below-median quick ratio points to higher liquidity risk,
