Deep Analysis
Charter Communications (CHTR) has a quick ratio of 0.33x, which measures the company’s ability to cover its short-term liabilities using only its most liquid assets (like cash and receivables)—a value below 1.0x signals potential liquidity pressure.
This sits far below the sector median of 0.72x, placing CHTR in just the 18th percentile among its peers, meaning most competitors hold a stronger liquidity cushion. The metric shows no trend data—both year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter changes are listed as N/A, so there is no way to assess whether the company is improving or weakening on this front. The combination of a very low absolute level and the absence of any trend data leaves an investor without a directional signal, heightening uncertainty around the company’s short-term financial flexibility. This directly supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict, as the quick ratio suggests a higher risk of difficulty meeting upcoming obligations compared to the typical sector firm.
