Deep Analysis
The quick ratio measures a company’s ability to pay short-term liabilities using its most liquid assets, like cash and receivables.
At 0.36x, CEG has less than $0.36 of liquid assets for every $1 of current debt, indicating tight short-term liquidity. This sits well below the sector median of 0.76x, placing the firm in the 18th percentile among peers. Over the last eight quarters the trend is decreasing, with the latest quarter dropping 14.3% from 0.42x to 0.36x (year-over-year change is not available). A low and falling quick ratio points to elevated liquidity risk, as the company’s buffer to cover immediate obligations is shrinking. This risk does not align with a NEUTRAL verdict, but rather suggests a more cautious view — however, the overall stock rating remains NEUTRAL, meaning other factors offset this weakness.
