Quick Ratio

A quick ratio of 0.50x means Dell has only $0.50 in highly liquid assets (like cash and receivables) for every $1.00 of short-term liabilities, indicating a tight liquidity position.

This is well below the Technology sector median of 1.33x, placing Dell in the 6th percentile among peers — meaning 94% of sector companies have a higher quick ratio. The metric has been decreasing over the last eight quarters, with the most recent quarter-over-quarter change showing an 18.0% decline (year-over-year change is not available). The combination of a low quick ratio and a downward trend points to increasing short-term financial risk, as the company's ability to meet immediate obligations is weakening. This elevated risk does not directly contradict the overall BULLISH verdict, which likely relies on other positive factors such as growth or profitability, but it does introduce a liquidity concern that investors should monitor.
