Deep Analysis
A quick ratio of 0.91x means Netflix has $0.91 in highly liquid assets—like cash and receivables—for every $1 of short-term debt due within a year, so it is slightly below the comfortable 1x mark.
Compared to Communication Services peers, that is above the sector median of 0.88x and places the company in the 57th percentile, meaning most peers have a lower quick ratio. The trend data is limited: the year-over-year change is N/A, but quarter-over-quarter the ratio dropped by 22.9%, from 1.18x to 0.91x. The combination of a near-median level with a sharp quarterly decline suggests liquidity is tightening, which raises the risk of strain if cash collection or financing conditions worsen. However, the ratio still sits above the peer median, so the current position is not alarming. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict: it shows neither a strong liquidity cushion nor a critical shortfall.
