Deep Analysis
The quick ratio measures a company’s ability to cover short-term liabilities with its most liquid assets, excluding inventory; at 0.93x, CDW has $0.93 of quick assets for every $1 of current liabilities.
This sits above the sector median of 0.72x, placing CDW in the 64th percentile among sector peers. Year-over-year change is not available, but quarter-over-quarter the metric improved by 1.1%, with the latest reading of 0.93x following 0.92x. The above-median level suggests better short-term liquidity than most peers, while the slight quarter-over-quarter increase points to a stable or modestly improving position. However, a quick ratio below 1.0 means liquid assets do not fully cover current liabilities, which can imply some reliance on near-term cash flow or financing, though the gap is small and closing. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as liquidity is neither a clear strength nor a serious weakness.
