EPD Quick Ratio Analysis

The quick ratio measures whether a company can cover its short-term debts using its most liquid assets, like cash and receivables, without selling inventory.

At 0.56x, EPD has $0.56 of liquid assets for every $1 of current liabilities, which is below the 1.0x threshold often used as a comfort level. That places EPD below its sector median of 0.72x, sitting at the 37th percentile among peers, meaning most similar companies carry more liquidity cushion. Year-over-year change is not available, but quarter-over-quarter the ratio improved by +12.0%, moving from 0.50x to 0.56x; an eight-quarter trend is also not available. The combination of a sub-1.0 level with a recent uptick points to ongoing liquidity pressure that is easing modestly, rather than a sudden deterioration or clear recovery. On balance, this metric aligns with the overall NEUTRAL verdict: the low level is a risk factor, while the positive quarterly change offers some offset, so neither a bearish nor bullish signal dominates.
