Deep Analysis

The quick ratio of 0.76x means the company has $0.76 in liquid assets (cash, marketable securities, and receivables) for every $1 of current liabilities due within a year, indicating a modest buffer but not a strong safety net.

This ratio sits slightly above the sector median of 0.71x, placing CHD in the 53rd percentile among its peers—essentially in line with the middle of the pack. No trend data is available because the year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter changes are both reported as N/A, and only a single historical value of 0.76x exists for the last eight quarters. With a steady ratio at roughly the sector median and no observable trend, the metric offers neither a clear risk signal nor an opportunity for improvement. This neutral position supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict on the stock, as the liquidity measure does not indicate any outlier strength or weakness relative to peers.
