Deep Analysis
The quick ratio measures a company’s ability to cover short-term obligations with its most liquid assets, excluding inventory.
At 0.49x, HLT holds only $0.49 of liquid assets for every $1 of current liabilities, indicating potential liquidity strain. This sits below the sector median of 0.72x and places HLT in the 29th percentile among peers, meaning 71% of sector companies have a stronger quick ratio. Trend data is not available — the year-over-year change and quarter-over-quarter change are both listed as N/A, and no historical trend over the last eight quarters exists for assessment. With a low level and no trend direction to gauge improvement or deterioration, the liquidity risk is currently elevated but unquantified. This metric supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict, as the weak quick ratio alone signals a financial vulnerability that warrants careful monitoring.
