Deep Analysis
A quick ratio of 0.38x means Jack has only $0.38 of cash, marketable securities, and receivables available for every $1 of short-term liabilities, indicating a thin buffer to cover near-term obligations without selling inventory.
This sits well below the sector median of 0.69x, placing the company at the 24th percentile among peers, so liquidity is weaker than roughly three-quarters of the Consumer Cyclical group. The trend is N/A: the year-over-year change is N/A, the quarter-over-quarter change is N/A, and only a single historical value of 0.38x is available, so no direction can be assessed. The combination of a low liquidity level with no trend information means the investment risk is elevated, as there is no evidence of improving coverage. This metric directly supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict by confirming a below-median ability to meet short-term debts.
