Quick Ratio

SBUX's current Quick Ratio of 0.25x means the company has only $0.25 in highly liquid assets (cash, marketable securities, and receivables) for every $1 of short-term liabilities, indicating a tight ability to cover immediate obligations.

This sits well below the sector median of 0.73x and places SBUX in the 10th percentile among its peer group, signaling weaker short-term liquidity than most competitors. Because year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter changes are both listed as N/A, and no historical trend is available for the last eight quarters, there is no directional data to assess improvement or deterioration. The combination of a very low ratio with no trend information highlights a persistent liquidity risk, as the current level alone suggests vulnerability to cash flow disruptions. This metric directly supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict, as the low quick ratio reinforces concerns about financial flexibility and near-term solvency.
