Quick Ratio

Pool Corporation’s quick ratio of 0.18x means the company has only $0.18 in highly liquid assets (like cash and receivables) for every $1 of current liabilities, indicating a thin buffer to cover short-term debts.

This sits far below the industrials sector median of 0.74x, ranking Pool in the 3rd percentile among peers. The metric has been decreasing over the last eight quarters, with no year-over-year data available and a quarter-over-quarter drop of -64.0% from the prior quarter’s 0.50x. A very low level combined with a steep downward trend signals elevated short-term liquidity risk, which could pressure operations if cash flow tightens. This liquidity weakness directly contradicts the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as it points to a financial stress that would typically warrant a more cautious stance.
