Deep Analysis

The quick ratio measures a company’s ability to pay short-term liabilities using its most liquid assets, excluding inventory.

DLTR’s current quick ratio of 0.32x is well below the sector median of 0.72x and places the company in the 17th percentile among sector peers, indicating weaker liquidity than most competitors. Trend data is not available—the year-over-year change and quarter-over-quarter change are both listed as N/A, so no directional movement can be assessed. The combination of a low ratio and no trend information points to a liquidity risk that bears monitoring, but without a downward trajectory the immediate urgency is unclear. This metric suggests a potential vulnerability, but it does not directly contradict the overall NEUTRAL verdict—the ratio is a single concern that is balanced by other factors in the broader analysis.
