SU Quick Ratio Analysis

The quick ratio measures liquid assets (cash, marketable securities, and receivables) available to cover each $1 of current liabilities due within a year; at 1.05x, SU has $1.05 of such assets per $1 of short-term obligations.

This sits above the sector median of 0.71x and ranks in the 70th percentile among peers, indicating better short-term liquidity than most comparable companies. The ratio rose from 0.90x to 1.05x, a quarter-over-quarter increase of +16.7%, though a year-over-year comparison is not available. An above-median level combined with a rising trend implies improving short-term financial flexibility and reduced near-term solvency risk. This supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as the liquidity position is adequate but not exceptional enough to justify a more bullish stance.
