Quick Ratio

The quick ratio measures a company's ability to pay short-term obligations using its most liquid assets, with a value above 1.0x generally indicating sufficient short-term liquidity; JBHT's current 0.98x is slightly below that threshold, meaning it may have a minor coverage gap.

Compared to sector peers, this ratio sits above the sector median of 0.72x and places JBHT in the 68th percentile, suggesting stronger liquidity than many competitors. The trend is not available, as the year-over-year change and quarter-over-quarter change are both reported as N/A, and there is no historical trend data for the last eight quarters. With the quick ratio already near 1.0x and no trend information to assess direction, the combination offers neither a clear risk nor a notable opportunity — the level is adequate relative to peers, but the lack of trend limits insight into improving or weakening liquidity. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as the quick ratio is close to 1.0x and above the sector median, but without trend data, it does not materially change the balanced outlook.
