Deep Analysis

The quick ratio measures a company’s cash, marketable securities, and receivables against its current liabilities, showing whether it can cover near-term bills without selling inventory.

TJX’s 0.48x is below the sector median of 0.72x, placing it in the 28th percentile among peers. Trend data are not available: the year-over-year change is N/A, the quarter-over-quarter change is N/A, and the last 8 quarters show no historical values. A level below the sector median implies tighter liquidity, but without a trend there is no evidence of deterioration or improvement. For a retailer like TJX, a low quick ratio can be normal if inventory turns quickly and cash flow is steady, yet the 0.48x still signals a thinner safety buffer. This metric does not contradict the overall NEUTRAL verdict; it aligns with a balanced view, as the level is weaker than most peers but not alarming given the missing trend.
