Deep Analysis
A quick ratio of 0.82x means J has $0.82 of liquid assets (cash, marketable securities, and receivables) for every $1 of short-term liabilities, so it can cover most, but not all, of its near-term obligations without selling inventory.
This sits above the sector median of 0.71x, placing J in the 57th percentile of peers, indicating slightly better liquidity than the typical company in its space. The trend is not available: both year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter changes are N/A, and there are no historical values beyond the current 0.82x, so no directional insight can be drawn. The level alone is modest—below 1x but above the sector median—and with no trend data, the risk is balanced rather than clearly favorable or adverse. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict because the quick ratio shows neither a liquidity strength nor a weakness that would move the stock decisively.
