GILD Quick Ratio Analysis

The quick ratio, which measures cash and other liquid assets against current liabilities, is 0.75x, meaning GILD has $0.75 of liquid assets for every $1 of short-term obligations.

That sits just above the sector median of 0.72x, placing GILD at the 53rd percentile among peers. The year-over-year change is not available, but quarter-over-quarter the metric fell 42.7%, from 1.31x to 0.75x. A sub-1.0 ratio alone is not alarming given the sector norm, but the sharp quarterly decline suggests liquidity has weakened recently. For investors, the level is in line with peers, yet the downward trend adds short-term risk to an otherwise neutral outlook. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict because the ratio is near the peer median, though the recent drop prevents a positive tilt.
