Quick Ratio

A quick ratio of 0.51x means Salesforce has only $0.51 in highly liquid assets (cash, marketable securities, receivables) for every $1 of current liabilities due within a year, signaling potential difficulty covering near-term obligations.

This places the company far below the Technology sector median of 1.32x and lands it in the 8th percentile among peers, meaning 92% of comparable firms have stronger liquidity. The year-over-year change is unavailable, but the quarter-over-quarter decline of -17.7%—from 0.62x last quarter—shows a sharp recent deterioration. Combining a very low level with a steep quarterly drop amplifies liquidity risk, as the company has less room to absorb unexpected cash demands. However, the overall NEUTRAL verdict suggests other factors—such as Salesforce’s strong recurring revenue and cash flow generation—offset this weakness. This metric alone contradicts a bullish view and supports the neutral stance by highlighting a clear vulnerability that requires monitoring.
