Deep Analysis
The quick ratio measures whether a company can cover its short-term debts using its most liquid assets, excluding inventory; at 1.16x, XYL has $1.16 in liquid assets for every $1 of current liabilities.
This is above the sector median of 0.72x and places XYL at the 75th percentile among sector peers, indicating better short-term liquidity than most comparable companies. The trend is not available: the year-over-year change is N/A and the quarter-over-quarter change is N/A, so there is no directional evidence from past periods. The combination of a high liquidity level with no trend data means current risk appears limited, but the lack of historical change prevents any conclusion about whether this position is improving or weakening. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict: the strong quick ratio reduces near-term liquidity risk, but without trend information it does not justify a positive or negative tilt.
