Deep Analysis
The quick ratio measures a company’s ability to cover its short-term liabilities using its most liquid assets (cash, marketable securities, receivables).
At 1.07x, UPS holds $1.07 in liquid assets for every $1 of short-term debt, indicating a comfortable liquidity position. This compares favorably to the sector median of 0.73x, placing UPS in the 73rd percentile among its peers. Trend data is unavailable: the year-over-year change, quarter-over-quarter change, and the direction over the last eight quarters are all listed as N/A. Without a trend, the analysis rests solely on the current level, which is above the sector median and suggests a lower near-term liquidity risk. This elevated quick ratio supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict by indicating no acute financial distress, though the lack of trend data prevents a stronger bullish or bearish stance.
