Quick Ratio

The Quick Ratio of 0.95x means the company has $0.95 in highly liquid assets (cash, marketable securities, receivables) for every $1.00 of short-term debt, indicating it could cover 95% of its current liabilities without selling inventory.

This ratio sits above the sector median of 0.72x, placing XYL in the 66th percentile among its peers, meaning its liquidity is stronger than roughly two-thirds of comparable companies. No year-over-year change, quarter-over-quarter change, or historical trend data is available, so we cannot assess whether this ratio is improving or deteriorating over time. The combination of a liquidity level above industry average and the complete absence of trend information suggests a neutral risk profile — the company is not under immediate liquidity pressure, but investors lack the directional data to gauge future stability. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict because it confirms adequate short-term financial health without providing any clear positive or negative momentum signal.
