Quick Ratio

A quick ratio of 0.28x means that for every $1 of short-term liabilities, the company has only $0.28 in very liquid assets (cash, marketable securities, and receivables) after excluding inventory — indicating a thin liquidity cushion.

This is well below the sector median of 0.79x, placing CMA in the 9th percentile among peers, meaning 91% of sector companies have a stronger quick ratio. Trend data is not available: the year-over-year change, quarter-over-quarter change, and last 8 quarters are all listed as N/A, so no directional pattern can be assessed. The combination of an extremely low liquidity level with no observable trend highlights a persistent risk of near-term cash shortfalls, but without trend information, it is unclear whether the position is stable or deteriorating. This metric directly contradicts a bullish outlook by flagging elevated liquidity risk; however, the overall NEUTRAL verdict suggests that other factors (e.g., earnings stability or capital strength) may offset this concern.
