Quick Ratio

The quick ratio, measuring a company’s ability to cover short-term obligations with its most liquid assets, stands at 1.79x for WST, meaning it holds $1.79 in cash and near-cash for every $1 of current liabilities.

This ratio places WST in the 88th percentile among sector peers, well above the sector median of 0.74x, indicating a stronger-than-average liquidity position. The trend data is not available — the year-over-year change, quarter-over-quarter change, and last eight quarters are all reported as N/A, so no directional insight exists. Given the high current level combined with the absence of trend information, the liquidity risk appears low, but the lack of historical movement prevents assessing whether this strength is stable or eroding. The overall NEUTRAL verdict on WST is not contradicted by this metric, as a strong quick ratio alone does not justify a bullish or bearish stance without trend context or additional fundamentals.
