Deep Analysis
A quick ratio measures a company's ability to pay off short-term debts using its most liquid assets, such as cash and receivables.
At 0.19x, DG has only $0.19 in liquid assets for every $1.00 of current liabilities, a very low level that signals potential liquidity strain. Among sector peers, the median quick ratio is 0.72x, and DG ranks in the 7th percentile — meaning 93% of peers have stronger short-term liquidity. The year-over-year change is N/A, but the quarter-over-quarter change shows an improvement of +11.8%, rising from 0.17x to 0.19x. The combination of an extremely low absolute level with a recent upward trend implies that while the company currently faces high liquidity risk, the direction offers a modest offset. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict: the low quick ratio is a clear weakness, but the improving trend prevents a outright bearish stance.
