NDAQ Quick Ratio Analysis

The quick ratio measures a company’s ability to pay short-term debts with its most liquid assets; at 0.38x, NDAQ has only $0.38 in cash, marketable securities, and receivables for every $1 of current liabilities.

This is well below the sector median of 0.72x, placing NDAQ in the 21st percentile among peers, meaning 79% of sector companies have a higher quick ratio. The year-over-year change is not available, but the quarter-over-quarter change shows an 11.8% increase from 0.34x to 0.38x. A quick ratio of 0.38x signals elevated short-term liquidity risk, though the upward trend indicates the company is gradually improving its position. This combination—low level but positive momentum—suggests a modest investment risk that is partly offset by recent progress. The metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict: the weak liquidity level is a cautionary factor, but the improvement prevents it from being a clear negative signal.
