Quick Ratio

The quick ratio measures a company's ability to pay short-term liabilities using its most liquid assets, with a value below 1.0x indicating potential liquidity stress.

At 0.49x, OKE's quick ratio is well below the sector median of 0.72x and places the company in the 28th percentile among its peers, meaning 72% of comparable firms hold a stronger liquidity position. Because the year-over-year change, quarter-over-quarter change, and historical trend are all reported as N/A, there is no directional data to assess whether liquidity is improving or deteriorating. The absence of a trend combined with a low current level suggests a static liquidity risk — the company has limited short-term financial flexibility, which could be a concern if cash needs arise unexpectedly. This metric alone does not contradict the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as a low quick ratio is a known risk factor that is already reflected in the neutral assessment, but investors should verify credit access or cash flow stability before forming a definitive view.
