Deep Analysis

The quick ratio measures a company’s ability to cover short-term liabilities using its most liquid assets (cash, marketable securities, and receivables).

At 0.49x, Procter & Gamble has less than half a dollar of quick assets for every dollar of current debt. This is above the sector median of 0.40x, placing PG in the 75th percentile among Consumer Defensive peers. No year-over-year, quarter-over-quarter, or multi-quarter trend data are available — only a single historical value of 0.49x, so no direction can be inferred. The combination of a current ratio modestly above the sector median with no trend information offers limited insight into risk or opportunity; the level alone suggests average liquidity relative to peers. This metric neither supports nor contradicts the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as a single-period quick ratio provides insufficient evidence to change the broader assessment.
