Deep Analysis

Yelp's quick ratio of 1.51x means the company holds $1.51 in cash, marketable securities, and receivables for every $1 of current liabilities owed within a year — a measure of short-term financial health.

This sits above the Communication Services sector median of 1.22x, placing Yelp in the 61st percentile among its peers. The year-over-year change, quarter-over-quarter change, and trend over the last eight quarters are all listed as N/A because no prior-period data is provided. With no trend direction available, an investor cannot determine whether liquidity has been strengthening or weakening, leaving the outlook based solely on the current level. The 1.51x ratio points to a comfortable liquidity position above the sector benchmark, suggesting lower near-term solvency risk. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict — the strong level is favorable, but the absence of trend data limits confidence in making a more positive or negative call.
