Deep Analysis

The quick ratio measures the most liquid assets—cash, marketable securities, and receivables—against current liabilities due within a year.

At 0.40x, URBN holds $0.40 in liquid assets for every $1.00 of short-term obligations. This sits well below the sector median of 0.72x, placing the company in the 21st percentile among peers. The year-over-year change is N/A, and the quarter-over-quarter change is N/A, so no trend can be established from the provided data. The low level alone points to tighter short-term liquidity relative to peers, but the missing trend removes any signal of worsening or improving pressure. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict: the weak ratio is a concern, yet without a direction, it does not justify a bearish stance.
