Quick Ratio

The quick ratio measures a company’s ability to cover its short-term liabilities using its most liquid assets (cash, marketable securities, and receivables), excluding inventory.

At 0.49x, GPN has less than $0.50 in liquid assets for every $1 of current debt, indicating potential liquidity pressure. This level sits well below the sector median of 0.72x and places the company in the 29th percentile among peers, meaning 71% of sector competitors have a higher quick ratio. Trend data is not available — year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter changes are marked as N/A, providing no insight into whether liquidity is improving or deteriorating. Without a trend, the current low absolute level suggests elevated short-term risk if cash flows tighten, while any future improvement would be required to reduce concern. The NEUTRAL verdict is supported: the weak quick ratio is a negative factor, but the absence of trend data means it does not alone tilt the overall assessment to bearish.
