Quick Ratio

MSCI's quick ratio of 0.78x means the company holds only $0.78 in cash and near-cash assets for every $1.00 of its short-term liabilities, indicating a level of liquidity below the 1.0x threshold often considered comfortable.

Compared to sector peers, this ratio sits above the sector median of 0.71x, placing MSCI in the 54th percentile — slightly better than half of its peers. The metric shows no available trend data, with both year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter changes listed as N/A, and only a single historical value of 0.78x provided. This combination of a ratio below 1.0x but above the peer median, with no trend to assess, implies a moderate liquidity position without clear signs of improvement or deterioration, creating neither a standout risk nor a clear opportunity. The quick ratio's level — below 1.0x — supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict, as it points to potential difficulty covering short-term obligations if cash flows tighten, even though the ratio is not worse than the sector average.
