Deep Analysis
A quick ratio of 2.89x means CF has $2.89 in liquid assets (cash, marketable securities, receivables) for every $1 of current liabilities due within a year, indicating strong short-term financial health.
This far exceeds the sector median of 0.72x and places CF in the 95th percentile among sector peers, meaning it has notably higher liquidity than most companies in its industry. The year-over-year change is not available, and the quarter-over-quarter change is also not available, so no recent trend can be assessed. Because the ratio is very high but the trend direction over the last eight quarters is unknown, the level alone suggests low immediate default risk, but without trend data it is unclear whether this position is improving or weakening. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict: the high quick ratio reduces financial distress risk, but the lack of trend information prevents a more conclusive bullish or bearish assessment.
