Quick Ratio

A quick ratio of 0.30x means the company has only $0.30 in liquid assets (cash, marketable securities, and receivables) for every $1 of short-term debt it must pay within a year, indicating limited ability to cover immediate obligations.

This is well below the sector median of 0.52x and places PBR in the 10th percentile among Energy peers, meaning 90% of comparable companies have a higher quick ratio. The year-over-year change is not available, but the quarter-over-quarter decline of -30.2% from 0.43x to 0.30x shows a sharp recent drop in liquidity. The combination of an already low level and a steep quarterly decrease implies elevated short-term financial risk, as the company’s ability to meet near-term liabilities is worsening. This metric contradicts the overall NEUTRAL verdict, because such a low and declining quick ratio points to a specific vulnerability that typically warrants a more cautious view.
