Deep Analysis
The quick ratio of 0.40x means the company holds only $0.40 in cash and other highly liquid assets for every $1.00 of short-term liabilities due within a year, indicating a thin cushion to cover immediate obligations.
That level places it well below the sector median of 0.72x and in the 22nd percentile among peers, meaning most rivals have stronger short-term liquidity. Over the last eight quarters the quick ratio has been stable, though the quarter-over-quarter change shows a 20.0% decline (from 0.50x to 0.40x); there is no year-over-year comparison available. The combination of a low absolute quick ratio with a recent sharp quarterly drop signals elevated short-term liquidity risk, but the longer-term stability prevents the risk from accelerating further. This metric partially contradicts the overall NEUTRAL verdict because the low level and negative QoQ trend are unfavorable, but the stable eight-quarter pattern and lack of YoY data keep the assessment balanced rather than shifting to bearish.
