Quick Ratio

The quick ratio measures a company's ability to cover its immediate bills with its most liquid assets, such as cash and receivables, excluding inventory.

At 0.91x, VRSK has less than $1 of quick assets for every $1 of current liabilities, indicating a tight but not critical liquidity position. This sits above the sector median of 0.72x and places VRSK in the 63rd percentile among peers, meaning it is better positioned than over half of its sector. However, no trend data is available—year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter changes are both listed as N/A, and only a single historical value of 0.91x exists, so no direction can be inferred. Without a trend, the combination of an above-median level but a ratio under 1.0x presents a moderate liquidity risk that is partially offset by relative sector strength. This metric neither strongly supports nor contradicts the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as the quick ratio is a mild positive relative to peers but lacks the upward momentum or clarity to shift the rating.
