Quick Ratio

The quick ratio of 0.85x means WDC has $0.85 in liquid assets (cash, equivalents, and receivables) for every $1 of current liabilities due within a year, indicating a modest ability to cover short-term obligations without selling inventory.

This is above the sector median of 0.72x, placing WDC in the 59th percentile among peers, which is slightly better than average. The metric is labeled stable over the last eight quarters, though the quarter-over-quarter change is -23.4% (from 1.11x to 0.85x), with the year-over-year change not available. The combination of an above-median level but a sharp quarterly decline points to a recent reduction in short-term liquidity, creating a minor risk if the trend continues, though the stable long-term view tempers immediate concern. This metric partially supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict: the adequate level offsets the negative quarterly move, leaving no clear bullish or bearish signal from liquidity alone.
