Quick Ratio

The quick ratio of 0.86x means DOW has $0.86 of liquid assets (cash, marketable securities, receivables) for every $1 of current liabilities due within a year, indicating it can cover most but not all short-term obligations.

This ratio sits above the sector median of 0.73x, placing DOW in the 59th percentile among peers, so its liquidity is better than roughly three-fifths of similar companies. The year-over-year change, quarter-over-quarter change, and trend over the last eight quarters are all stated as N/A, meaning no historical comparison is available to judge direction. Without a trend, the current level alone suggests a moderate liquidity position—neither dangerously low nor exceptionally high—which signals average short-term financial flexibility but no clear catalyst for improvement or deterioration. The 0.86x ratio aligns with the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as it neither strengthens the case for a bullish outlook (e.g., through surplus liquidity) nor raises a red flag warranting a bearish stance.
