Deep Analysis
With a quick ratio of 0.31x, LCID holds only $0.31 in liquid assets (cash, receivables, marketable securities) for every $1 of current liabilities, meaning it cannot cover its short-term obligations without relying on inventory sales.
This is far below the consumer cyclical sector median of 0.70x, and the company ranks in the 16th percentile among peers — lower than 84% of its competitors. Year-over-year change is not available, but quarter-over-quarter the quick ratio fell 3.1% from 0.32x to 0.31x. The combination of an already low level and a declining trend points to rising liquidity risk, increasing the chance that LCID may struggle to pay its near-term bills. This metric directly supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict, as poor liquidity is a common red flag for financial instability.
