Quick Ratio

The quick ratio of 0.59x means that for every $1 of short-term liabilities, the company has only $0.59 in cash, marketable securities, and receivables — a measure of its ability to cover near-term obligations.

This is below the sector median of 0.72x and places UNP in the 37th percentile among sector peers, indicating weaker liquidity than the average competitor. Because the year-over-year change, quarter-over-quarter change, and trend over the last eight quarters are all marked as N/A, there is no available data to assess whether this ratio is improving or deteriorating. The combination of a below-median level with no trend data leaves investors unable to determine if liquidity risk is rising or falling, increasing uncertainty. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as the below-median quick ratio points to potential short-term vulnerability but is not extreme enough alone to shift the rating to bearish.
