GOOG Quick Ratio Analysis

The quick ratio of 0.99x means GOOG has $0.99 of highly liquid assets—cash, marketable securities, and receivables—for every $1 of short-term liabilities, a measure of near-term financial flexibility.

This matches the sector median of 0.99x exactly, yet the 0th percentile rank places it at the bottom of the peer group, so within its sector it is an outlier on the low side. The trend is largely undefined: year-over-year change is N/A, and the 8-quarter direction is N/A, but the quarter-over-quarter change shows a +8.8% improvement from 0.91x to 0.99x. A level at 1.0x is adequate but not cushioned, and the single-quarter rise suggests some recent strengthening, while the lack of longer-term data limits confidence. This combination implies moderate liquidity risk—no immediate distress, but little buffer if short-term obligations grow suddenly. The metric supports the overall BULLISH verdict because the current level is at par with the sector and the recent quarterly move is positive, even if the peer percentile is weak.
