Quick Ratio

The quick ratio measures a company’s ability to pay short-term debts using its most liquid assets (cash, receivables, etc.), excluding inventory.

At 0.40x, EXC has only $0.40 of liquid assets for every $1 of current liabilities—well below the 1.0x threshold often considered healthy. This sits far below the sector median of 0.76x, placing the company in the 20th percentile among its peers, meaning only 20% of comparable firms have a worse quick ratio. No trend data is available—year-over-year change and quarter-over-quarter change are both marked N/A, and no historical values beyond the current quarter are provided. Without a trend, the low absolute level alone signals elevated short-term liquidity risk, as the company may struggle to cover urgent obligations without selling inventory or raising capital. This metric contradicts the overall NEUTRAL verdict; while other factors may balance the outlook, the quick ratio highlights a specific financial weakness that investors should weigh carefully.
