Quick Ratio

OXY’s quick ratio currently stands at 0.82x, meaning the company has $0.82 in highly liquid assets (like cash and receivables) for every $1 of current liabilities due within a year — a common measure of short-term financial health.

That figure sits above the sector median of 0.73x, placing OXY in the 56th percentile among its peers, or slightly better than the typical company in its industry. While the metric has been trending upward over the last eight quarters, the most recent quarter saw a decline of 8.9% from 0.90x to 0.82x, and a year-over-year comparison is not available. The combination of an above-median level with a recent pullback suggests a stable liquidity position that has lost some momentum, which could be a minor risk if the trend continues but does not signal immediate distress. This metric supports the NEUTRAL overall verdict on OXY — it is neither a strong strength nor a glaring weakness, leaving the stock without a clear bullish or bearish bias from this liquidity angle.
