Deep Analysis

Quick ratio measures a company's ability to cover short-term obligations with its most liquid assets, and at 0.34x, Alliant has $0.34 in cash-like assets for every $1 of current liabilities.

This sits below the sector median of 0.40x, placing LNT at the 33rd percentile among utility peers. The trend is not available, as the year-over-year change and quarter-over-quarter change are both reported as N/A. Because the level is low but the trend is unknown, investors face uncertainty about whether liquidity is improving or worsening. The combination of a below-median ratio and an absent trend adds a mild liquidity risk but no clear directional concern. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as it neither strengthens the case for buying nor selling.
