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 typically considered healthy.

KKR’s current ratio of 0.32x sits well below the financial services sector median of 0.45x, placing it in the 34th percentile among peers. The year-over-year change is not available, but the metric has dropped 96.8% quarter-over-quarter from the prior reading of 10.06x, indicating a severe reduction in liquidity over the last three months. A very low quick ratio combined with a steep quarterly decline suggests heightened near-term liquidity risk, as the firm now holds far fewer liquid assets relative to its short-term liabilities. This level and trend contradict the overall NEUTRAL verdict, pointing instead to a potential red flag for investors focused on balance-sheet strength.
