Quick Ratio

The quick ratio measures a company’s ability to pay its short-term obligations using its most liquid assets (cash, marketable securities, and receivables), excluding inventory.

DIS’s current quick ratio of 0.55x means it has only $0.55 in liquid assets for every $1.00 of current liabilities, indicating limited immediate liquidity. This sits well below the Communication Services sector median of 1.18x, placing DIS in the 22nd percentile among its peers. Trend data is not available because the year-over-year change, quarter-over-quarter change, and last eight quarters of history are all reported as N/A, with only the single current value provided. The combination of a low quick ratio and no trend makes it impossible to assess whether liquidity is improving or worsening, leaving the risk of a cash shortfall unmitigated by any visible recovery. This metric does not contradict the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as the lack of trend information prevents drawing a stronger conclusion, though the low level itself warrants caution.
