Deep Analysis

A quick ratio of 0.19x means LMT has only $0.19 in highly liquid assets (like cash and receivables) for every $1 of short-term liabilities, indicating limited near-term liquidity.

This is far below the sector median of 0.73x, placing LMT in the 7th percentile among peers. Year-over-year change is not available, but quarter-over-quarter the quick ratio fell 79.1% from 0.91x to its current level. The combination of an already low ratio and a steep quarterly decline signals heightened short-term financial pressure. This metric directly contradicts the overall CAUTIOUS verdict by reinforcing concerns about liquidity risk. Investors should note the sharp drop as a reason for caution.
