PG Quick Ratio Analysis

The quick ratio of 0.41x means the company has $0.41 in cash, marketable securities, and accounts receivable for every $1 of current liabilities, showing limited ability to cover short-term obligations without selling inventory.

This exactly matches the sector median of 0.41x, yet the percentile rank of 0th percentile places it at the bottom among consumer defensive peers. The year-over-year change is not available, but the quarter-over-quarter decline of -16.3% shows a drop from 0.49x to 0.41x in the most recent period. The combination of a level equal to the sector median and a steep recent decline suggests heightened near-term liquidity risk, though this is partly offset by the sector’s generally low quick ratio norm. This metric contradicts a NEUTRAL verdict by adding a cautionary signal, but it does not override the overall assessment given the sector-wide pattern.
