Quick Ratio

The quick ratio measures a company's ability to pay short-term liabilities using its most liquid assets, excluding inventory; a value of 0.41x means JD has only $0.41 in cash, marketable securities, and receivables for every $1 of current debt.

This is well below the Consumer Cyclical sector median of 0.69x, placing JD in the 30th percentile among peers, indicating weaker short-term liquidity than most competitors. The year-over-year change is not available, but the quarter-over-quarter drop of 47.4% from 0.78x to 0.41x reveals a sudden deterioration in liquidity coverage. The combination of already low absolute level and a sharp quarterly decline suggests elevated short-term financial risk, as the company now has less liquidity cushion to handle unexpected obligations or a downturn. This metric does not support the overall NEUTRAL verdict; instead, it points to a potential liquidity concern that could warrant caution despite the stock's neutral rating.
