LNG Quick Ratio Analysis

The quick ratio measures a company’s ability to cover near-term bills using its most liquid assets—cash, marketable securities, and receivables—without selling inventory.

At 0.49x, LNG has less than half a dollar of those liquid assets for every dollar of current liabilities, which signals tight short-term liquidity. This sits well below the sector median of 0.72x, placing LNG in the 29th percentile of its peers, meaning most comparable companies have stronger short-term coverage. For the trend, the 8-quarter direction is N/A, the year-over-year change is N/A, and the quarter-over-quarter change is +48.5%—rising from 0.33x to 0.49x. While the level remains low and risky, the large QoQ improvement reduces some immediate pressure and shows the liquidity position is moving in a positive direction. That combination—a low absolute level but a sharp recent gain—implies elevated short-term risk that may be easing, but it does not remove the concern. This metric directly supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict: the quick ratio is still below the sector median and below 1.0x, so liquidity remains a watch item.
