Quick Ratio

The current quick ratio of 10.83x means The Carlyle Group holds 10.83 dollars of highly liquid assets (cash, marketable securities, receivables) for every dollar of short-term liabilities, indicating exceptional short-term solvency.

This far exceeds the sector median of 0.59x, placing the company in the 87th percentile among Financial Services peers—only a small fraction of competitors have higher liquidity coverage. No trend data is available: the year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter changes are both listed as N/A, and no historical values beyond the current figure are provided. The combination of an extremely high quick ratio with no trend information creates uncertainty; the level alone suggests minimal liquidity risk, but without a trend, you cannot assess whether this is a deliberate capital structure or a temporary anomaly. This metric supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict because such an outlier—especially in a sector where the median is below 1x—may indicate inefficient capital allocation or a defensive posture that could weigh on returns.
