Deep Analysis
The quick ratio measures a company's ability to pay short-term debts using its most liquid assets — cash, marketable securities, and accounts receivable — without relying on inventory.
LYB's current ratio of 0.78x means it holds $0.78 in these liquid assets for every $1 of current liabilities. This is just above the sector median of 0.76x, placing LYB in the 51st percentile among its peers. Trend information is not available: both the year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter changes are reported as N/A. Because the metric shows only a single point near the sector midpoint with no trend data, liquidity risk appears neutral — there is no evidence of improvement or pressure. This position supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict on the stock: the quick ratio does not suggest a reason for caution or optimism beyond what the average peer shows.
