Deep Analysis

The quick ratio measures liquid assets—cash, marketable securities, and receivables—against current liabilities.

At 0.21x, DNUT holds only $0.21 of liquid assets for every $1 of short-term obligations, leaving little buffer to meet near-term bills. That level sits far below the sector median of 0.72x, placing DNUT in the 7th percentile among peers, meaning most comparable companies have more liquidity. The trend is limited: year-over-year change is N/A, but quarter-over-quarter the ratio fell 27.6%, from 0.29x to 0.21x, based on the two reported values. A very low and declining quick ratio points to rising short-term liquidity risk, which can pressure operations if cash inflows slow. This metric directly supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict, as it contradicts any assumption of financial flexibility at current levels.
