Quick Ratio

The quick ratio measures a company’s ability to cover its immediate liabilities using its most liquid assets, such as cash and receivables, but excluding inventory.

At 0.82x, CTVA has less than one dollar of quick assets for every dollar of short-term debt, indicating it relies on incoming cash or inventory sales to meet obligations. This ratio sits above the sector median of 0.72x, placing CTVA in the 56th percentile among peers — slightly better than average but not a standout. Over the last eight quarters, the trend has been decreasing, with a quarter-over-quarter decline of -13.7% from 0.95x to 0.82x; year-over-year data is not available. The combination of an above-median level but a downward trajectory suggests liquidity is weakening, which could raise modest risk if the trend continues. Given the overall NEUTRAL verdict on the stock, this metric supports that view: the quick ratio is not critically low, but the decline warrants monitoring without forcing a bullish or bearish stance.
