Deep Analysis
A quick ratio of 0.37x means the company has only $0.37 in liquid assets — cash, marketable securities, and receivables — for every $1 of current liabilities due within a year, signaling limited ability to cover short-term obligations.
This is far below the sector median of 0.71x, placing JBL in the 21st percentile among peers, indicating weaker liquidity than most comparable firms. The year-over-year change is not available, but the quarter-over-quarter change is -11.9%, based on the drop from the prior quarter's 0.42x to the current 0.37x. The combination of an already low quick ratio and a recent decline suggests increased near-term financial pressure, raising the risk of liquidity stress. This metric directly supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict by confirming a deteriorating and below-median liquidity position.
