IP Quick Ratio Analysis

The quick ratio of 0.67x means International Paper has $0.67 in liquid assets (cash, marketable securities, receivables) for every $1 of current liabilities — a measure of short-term financial health.

Against sector peers, this ratio sits at the 47th percentile, slightly below the sector median of 0.71x, indicating the company is near the middle of the pack in liquidity. No trend is available: year-over-year change and quarter-over-quarter change are both reported as N/A, and no data exists for the last eight quarters. The combination of a below-median quick ratio with no trend information leaves uncertainty about whether liquidity is stable or declining, increasing the need for caution. This metric does not directly contradict the NEUTRAL verdict — the ratio is modestly weak but not critically low, and the lack of trend means no clear signal to upgrade or downgrade the stock.
