Deep Analysis
A quick ratio of 0.40x means Public Service Enterprise Group has $0.40 of highly liquid assets, like cash and receivables, for every $1 of short-term liabilities—a measure of near-term financial flexibility.
This exactly matches the Utilities sector median of 0.40x, placing the company at the 56th percentile among peers, so its liquidity is broadly in line with the industry. The longer-term trend direction is N/A, the year-over-year change is N/A, but quarter-over-quarter the ratio fell 25.9% from 0.54x to 0.40x. Although the current level is not out of line with peers, the sharp quarterly drop signals that liquidity buffers have weakened recently, which adds a degree of caution. For a utility, a low but sector-normal quick ratio is common due to stable cash flows, yet the decline bears monitoring. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict: the level is sector-typical, while the recent deterioration prevents a more positive tilt.
