Quick Ratio

The quick ratio measures a company’s short-term liquidity by comparing quick assets to current liabilities. It’s calculated as (Cash + Marketable Securities + Accounts Receivable) ÷ Current Liabilities. A ratio above 1 indicates strong liquidity, showing that the company can pay its immediate debts without relying on inventory.
