Deep Analysis
Conagra Brands’ current Quick Ratio of 0.27x means the company has only $0.27 in liquid assets available to cover each $1 of short-term liabilities—a measure of its ability to pay bills without selling inventory.
This is well below the sector median of 0.71x, placing CAG in the 11th percentile among peers, indicating a weaker-than-average liquidity position. The year-over-year change is not available, but quarter-over-quarter the ratio improved by 8.0%, moving from 0.25x to 0.27x. A low ratio with a slight upward trend suggests a potential risk if cash needs spike, though the improvement hints at a modest step toward better coverage. This metric directly supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict, as the extremely low liquidity level reinforces concern about short-term financial flexibility.
