Quick Ratio

The quick ratio measures a company's ability to cover its short-term liabilities with its most liquid assets — excluding inventory.

At 0.28x, DAL has only $0.28 of liquid assets for every $1 of current obligations, which is well below the sector median of 0.72x and places the company at the 12th percentile among peers. No trend data is available because year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter changes are not provided, and the most recent eight quarters show no historical values beyond the current reading. The combination of a very low quick ratio with no trend information suggests elevated short-term liquidity risk, as the company appears poorly positioned to meet near-term debts without relying on inventory sales or external financing. This downside pressure on liquidity does not directly contradict the overall NEUTRAL verdict, but it indicates a specific financial weakness that could become a negative factor in a broader assessment.
