Deep Analysis
The quick ratio measures a company’s ability to cover short-term liabilities with its most liquid assets, excluding inventory; TXN’s 1.91x means it holds $1.91 in cash, marketable securities, and receivables for every $1 of current debt.
This sits far above the sector median of 0.47x and places TXN at the 100th percentile among technology peers, indicating unusually strong short-term liquidity. The year-over-year change is N/A, while the quarter-over-quarter change is +2.1%, moving from 1.87x to 1.91x; the 8-quarter trend direction is also N/A, so only this recent uptick is available. The combination of a very high level with a slight quarterly increase suggests low near-term default risk, but also possible inefficiency from holding excess idle cash. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict: it confirms financial stability without pointing to a clear growth or valuation catalyst.
