Quick Ratio

The Quick Ratio measures a company's ability to cover its short-term obligations using its most liquid assets (cash, marketable securities, and receivables), excluding inventory.

At 0.64x, KO holds $0.64 in liquid assets for every $1 of current liabilities, indicating a relatively tight liquidity position. This is below the sector median of 0.72x, placing KO in the 42th percentile among its peers — meaning about 58% of sector companies have a higher quick ratio. Trend data is not available: the year-over-year change is N/A, the quarter-over-quarter change is N/A, and no historical values beyond the current 0.64x are provided. Without trend information, the combination of a slightly below-median ratio and no directional movement implies a modest liquidity risk but no clear deterioration or improvement, limiting the actionable insight. This metric is consistent with the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as the level is not extreme enough to warrant a bearish view, yet the absence of trend data prevents any upgrade to bullish.
