Deep Analysis

Among Industrials peers, this sits below the sector median of 0.68x and places ROK at the 46th percentile—slightly weaker than half its competitors. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter changes are both listed as N/A, and no trend data is available for the last eight quarters, so no directional insight can be drawn. With a below-median ratio and no trend to assess improvement or deterioration, the current liquidity position represents a moderate risk that warrants monitoring rather than a clear opportunity. This metric contradicts the overall NEUTRAL verdict to the extent that a quick ratio under 1.0x signals tighter cash buffers, though the closeness to the sector median tempers alarm.
