Deep Analysis
The quick ratio measures a company’s most liquid assets—cash, marketable securities, and receivables—against its current liabilities, showing whether it can cover short-term debts without selling inventory.
At 0.88x, ROST has $0.88 of liquid assets for every $1.00 of current liabilities, meaning it falls just short of full short-term coverage. Compared to sector peers, this is stronger than the Consumer Cyclical median of 0.70x, placing ROST at the 67th percentile among peers. The trend is not available: both year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter changes are reported as N/A, so there is no direction to assess. The combination of a liquidity level above the sector median but below 1.0x suggests moderate financial flexibility, while the missing trend removes any momentum signal, leaving neither clear improvement nor deterioration. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict: it does not indicate acute stress, but it also lacks the excess liquidity that would tilt the view toward positive.
