GM Quick Ratio Analysis

The quick ratio measures a company’s ability to cover short-term debts using its most liquid assets, excluding inventory; a value of 0.84x means GM has $0.84 in liquid assets for every $1 of current liabilities.

This sits above the sector median of 0.72x, placing GM in the 59th percentile among peers, so its liquidity position is slightly better than most. No trend data is available for this metric: the year-over-year change is N/A and the quarter-over-quarter change is N/A. With a ratio below 1.0x and no directional information, the level alone signals a thin buffer against short-term obligations, though it is not the weakest among peers. The lack of a trend adds uncertainty, as investors cannot tell whether liquidity is improving or deteriorating. This metric directly supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict, because a quick ratio under 1x indicates potential difficulty meeting near-term liabilities.
