Quick Ratio

The quick ratio measures a company's ability to pay its short-term obligations with its most liquid assets, excluding inventory; a ratio of 0.23x means INVH has only $0.23 in cash and equivalents for every $1 of current liabilities due within a year.

This is far below the sector median of 0.72x, placing the company in the 8th percentile among its peers, indicating a much weaker liquidity position than most. Over the last eight quarters, the trend is increasing, with the most recent values rising from 0.11x to 0.20x and then to 0.23x (a quarter-over-quarter increase of +15.0%), though year-over-year data is not available. The combination of an extremely low current level combined with a steadily improving trend suggests a potential risk of near-term liquidity stress, but also a narrowing gap toward sector norms, which moderates the opportunity for investors. This metric contradicts the overall NEUTRAL verdict because the quick ratio is severely below the median, highlighting a liquidity risk that a neutral stance may understate.
