Deep Analysis
The quick ratio measures whether a company can cover its short-term bills with its most liquid assets, excluding inventory; at 0.91x, CBRE has $0.91 of quick assets for every $1 of current liabilities.
This sits above the sector median of 0.72x, placing CBRE in the 63rd percentile among peers, meaning it is more liquid than most comparable companies. Trend data is limited: the year-over-year change is N/A, and the 8-quarter trend is N/A, but the quarter-over-quarter change shows a +5.8% rise from 0.86x to 0.91x. A sub-1.0 ratio signals some reliance on inventory sales or other less-liquid assets to meet near-term obligations, yet the improvement and above-median standing reduce acute liquidity stress. The combination of a moderate liquidity level with a positive recent move implies modest risk, with no immediate red flag but also no sizable safety cushion. This supports the NEUTRAL verdict, as the metric neither strengthens nor undermines the case for a clearly bullish or bearish stance.
