Deep Analysis
The quick ratio of 0.60x means TSN has only $0.60 in cash, marketable securities, and receivables for every $1.00 of short-term debt—a measure of ability to meet immediate obligations without selling inventory.
This sits below the sector median of 0.74x, placing TSN in the 36th percentile among its peers, indicating tighter liquidity than most comparable firms. Trend data are not available: the year-over-year change is N/A, the quarter-over-quarter change is N/A, and no historical values beyond the current 0.60x are provided. The combination of a below-median quick ratio with no trend information leaves investors unable to judge whether liquidity is improving or deteriorating, creating uncertainty. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict because the low ratio signals potential cash strain, but the lack of trend means no decisive evidence of increasing risk or opportunity.
