Deep Analysis
A quick ratio measures a company's ability to pay short-term debts using its most liquid assets (cash, marketable securities, receivables).
Coty's current quick ratio of 0.35x means it holds only $0.35 in liquid assets for every $1 of current liabilities, indicating thin short-term liquidity. This falls below the consumer defensive sector median of 0.40x, placing Coty at the 42nd percentile among peers — slightly worse than the typical company. Trend data is not available: the year-over-year change and quarter-over-quarter change are both listed as N/A, and no historical figures beyond the current value are provided. Without a trend direction, the combination of a below-median quick ratio and no improvement history suggests elevated near-term liquidity risk, as the company has less buffer than many sector peers. This metric partially contradicts the neutral verdict; while the neutral stance may account for other strengths, the quick ratio alone signals a need for caution regarding Coty's ability to meet urgent obligations.
