Quick Ratio

The quick ratio measures a company’s ability to cover its short-term obligations using its most liquid assets (cash, receivables, marketable securities), excluding inventory.

At 1.19x, VLTO holds $1.19 in liquid assets for every $1 of current liabilities, indicating adequate short-term liquidity. This ratio places the company in the 75th percentile among sector peers, well above the sector median of 0.74x, meaning VLTO’s liquidity position is stronger than three-quarters of its competitors. Trend data for this metric is unavailable: the year-over-year change is N/A, the quarter-over-quarter change is N/A, and only a single historical value (1.19x) has been provided. The combination of a high relative level with no trend information implies that current liquidity is solid but offers no evidence of improving or deteriorating momentum, creating a neutral risk profile. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict because while the quick ratio is favorable relative to peers, the lack of trend data prevents any stronger bullish or bearish conclusion.
