REI Quick Ratio Analysis

The quick ratio measures whether a company can cover its immediate short-term liabilities with its most liquid assets (cash, marketable securities, and receivables, excluding inventory).

At 0.40x, it holds only $0.40 of liquid assets for every $1 of current liabilities due — a tight liquidity position. This sits well below the sector median of 0.72x, placing the company in the 21st percentile among sector peers, meaning roughly 79% of peers have stronger short-term liquidity. Trend data is not available: the historical series shows only the current 0.40x value, with no year-over-year or quarter-over-quarter change reported, so the direction cannot be assessed. The combination of a low level with no observable improvement points to elevated near-term solvency risk and limited buffer against unexpected cash demands. This metric directly supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict, as it confirms a below-average ability to meet obligations without selling inventory or raising outside financing.
