CPT Quick Ratio Analysis

The quick ratio measures a company's ability to cover current liabilities with its most liquid assets—cash, marketable securities, and receivables—without relying on inventory.

At 0.06x, CPT holds only $0.06 of these liquid assets for every $1 of short-term debt, indicating a very thin liquidity cushion. That figure sits far below the sector median of 0.72x, placing CPT in the 2nd percentile among peers, meaning 98% of similar companies have higher quick ratios. The year-over-year change is N/A, but quarter-over-quarter the ratio fell 45.5%, and historical values show a decline from 0.11x to 0.06x (most recent first), with the 8-quarter trend direction listed as N/A. The combination of an already low level and a sharp quarterly decline points to growing short-term solvency risk, which could limit flexibility to meet obligations. This metric directly supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict, as the liquidity position is both weak and deteriorating relative to sector norms.
