Quick Ratio

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

XPeng’s current quick ratio of 0.29x means it has only $0.29 in liquid assets for every $1 of short-term debt, a very low level of liquidity. Against sector peers, the consumer cyclical median is 0.70x, and XPeng sits at the 13th percentile — well below the typical peer. The metric has been decreasing over the last eight quarters; the year-over-year change is not available, but the quarter-over-quarter change is -62.8% (from 0.78x to 0.29x). A low and falling quick ratio points to rising liquidity risk, as the company’s ability to cover near-term obligations has deteriorated sharply. This trend contradicts the overall NEUTRAL verdict because the metric signals a material weakness in short-term financial health that would typically warrant a cautious view.
