Name: Quick Ratio

Definition: The quick ratio is like an emergency response measure: can the company pay off short-term debts without selling any inventory? It only counts cash, short-term investments, and receivables — assets that can quickly be turned into cash. A healthy quick ratio shows strong liquidity. A very low quick ratio means the company depends on selling inventory to meet short-term obligations — which can be risky if sales unexpectedly slow down.
