Quick Ratio

The quick ratio measures a company's ability to pay short-term obligations using its most liquid assets (cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable).

PCG's quick ratio of 0.25x means it has only $0.25 in liquid assets for every $1 of current liabilities, indicating a tight liquidity position. This is below the utilities sector median of 0.39x, placing PCG in the 20th percentile among peers — meaning 80% of similar companies have a higher quick ratio. Trend data is not available: the year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter changes are both marked as N/A, and no historical values beyond the single current figure exist. A low quick ratio combined with no observable trend introduces uncertainty; the lack of historical comparison makes it difficult to assess whether liquidity is improving or deteriorating. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict by highlighting a potential risk from low liquidity, but without trend evidence it does not tip the scale toward a bearish or bullish stance.
