Quick Ratio

The quick ratio of 0.75x means FCX has $0.75 in highly liquid assets (cash, marketable securities, receivables) for every $1 of short-term liabilities, indicating a slightly thin buffer to cover immediate debts without selling inventory.

This ratio sits just above the sector median of 0.72x, placing FCX in the 52nd percentile among its peers — roughly in the middle of the pack. Because year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter changes are both reported as N/A, and no historical trend data is available, the direction of the metric cannot be assessed. The combination of an average current level with no visible trend offers no clear signal of improving or deteriorating liquidity, which introduces uncertainty rather than a defined risk or opportunity. This absence of directional insight, paired with a quick ratio that is only marginally above the sector median, does not actively contradict the overall CAUTIOUS verdict but also does not provide a strong reason to upgrade the outlook.
