ES Quick Ratio Analysis

The quick ratio measures whether a company can cover its near-term bills using its most liquid assets, excluding inventory; at 0.29x, ES has only $0.29 of quick assets for every $1 of current liabilities.

That is far below the sector median of 0.72x, placing ES in the 13th percentile among peers, so its liquidity position is weak relative to the group. Trend data are unavailable: the year-over-year change is N/A, the quarter-over-quarter change is N/A, and the last 8 quarters show no historical values, with only the current 0.29x reported. Because the level is low but no trend can be assessed, you cannot tell whether liquidity is deteriorating or improving, which adds uncertainty to the investment case. This low quick ratio signals a potential near-term cash strain risk, yet without a trend it does not alone point to a specific opportunity. Overall, the metric supports the NEUTRAL verdict: it flags a liquidity weakness, but the absence of directional data prevents a stronger bearish or bullish call.
