CF Quick Ratio Analysis

A quick ratio of 4.14x means CF holds $4.14 of liquid assets—cash, marketable securities, and receivables, excluding inventory—for every $1 of current liabilities due within a year.

This is far above the sector median of 0.72x, placing the company in the 97th percentile among peers. The year-over-year change is not available, but quarter-over-quarter the quick ratio rose 43.3%, from 2.89x to 4.14x. This combination of an already high level and a sharp recent increase points to low near-term solvency risk, yet it may also signal that excess cash is not being put to productive use. For investors, the elevated liquidity lessens distress risk but does not by itself suggest growth or profitability upside. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as strong liquidity is a defensive positive that does not warrant a bullish or bearish tilt on its own.
