Upgrade NowSmartAsset TeamSat, Feb 22, 2025, 6:53 PM 6 min readA business owner researches how acid-test ratios are used. SmartAsset and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue through links in the content below. The acid-test ratio is a financial metric that assesses a company’s ability to cover short-term liabilities with its most liquid assets. A higher acid-test ratio suggests a stronger liquidity position, while a lower ratio may indicate potential cash flow challenges. Investors and analysts use this metric to assess financial health, particularly in industries where inventory may not be easily converted to cash.A financial advisor can help you determine your financial and investment health, and recommend strategies to reach your goals.The acid-test ratio, also known as the quick ratio, is a liquidity ratio that is calculated by dividing a company’s most liquid assets by its current liabilities. The formula is:Acid-Test Ratio = Cash + Marketable Securities + Accounts Receivable / Current LiabilitiesThis calculation excludes inventory and prepaid expenses since they may not be quickly converted into cash. Marketable securities include short-term investments that can be readily sold, while accounts receivable represent money owed to the company that is expected to be collected soon.For an example of how this calculation works, consider a company with $50,000 in cash, $20,000 in marketable securities, $30,000 in accounts receivable and $80,000 in current liabilities. Its acid-test ratio would be: 50,000 + 20,000 + 30,000 / 80,000 = 1.25A ratio above 1.0 indicates that liquid assets exceed short-term liabilities and is typically a sign of financial health, while a ratio below 1.0 suggests potential liquidity constraints and may indicate poorer financial health and higher risk. However, results must be interpreted, as their meaning varies by industry. For instance, some businesses operate efficiently with lower ratios due to steady cash flow.The acid-test ratio helps businesses and investors assess short-term financial stability. Companies use it to evaluate liquidity and determining whether they have enough cash and receivables to cover immediate obligations without selling inventory or securing additional financing. A declining ratio over time may signal cash flow issues, prompting management to improve receivables collection or reduce short-term debt.Investors analyze the acid-test ratio to compare companies within the same industry. A higher ratio suggests a firm has strong liquidity, reducing the risk of financial distress. However, an excessively high ratio may indicate that capital is being underutilized and could be reinvested for growth. In contrast, a ratio below 1.0 could signal potential cash shortages, particularly in industries with unpredictable revenue streams.Terms and Privacy PolicyPrivacy & Cookie SettingsMore InfoS&P Futures6,057.00 +28.00 (+0.46%)Dow Futures43,688.00 +202.00 (+0.46%)Nasdaq Futures21,774.25 +95.00 (+0.44%)Russell 2000 Futures2,211.00 +11.70 (+0.53%)Crude Oil70.36 -0.04 (-0.06%)Gold2,954.60 +1.40 (+0.05%)My PortfoliosSign in to access your portfolioSign inTop GainersPONY Pony AI Inc. 23.61 +5.73 (+32.05%)CELH Celsius Holdings, Inc. 32.62 +7.09 (+27.77%)VICR Vicor Corporation 63.67 +11.81 (+22.77%)TME Tencent Music Entertainment Group 14.38 +1.55 (+12.08%)TLX Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited 19.50 +2.09 (+12.00%)Top LosersGLOB Globant S.A. 151.72 -58.45 (-27.81%)HIMS Hims & Hers Health, Inc. 49.28 -17.13 (-25.79%)AKAM Akamai Technologies, Inc. 76.73 -21.30 (-21.73%)GKOS Glaukos Corporation 125.88 -31.48 (-20.01%)NU Nu Holdings Ltd. 10.82 -2.52 (-18.89%)Most ActiveNVDA NVIDIA Corporation 134.40 -5.71 (-4.08%)NU Nu Holdings Ltd. 10.82 -2.52 (-18.89%)PLTR Palantir Technologies Inc. 101.39 -4.88 (-4.59%)INTC Intel Corporation 24.87 -1.22 (-4.68%)SMCI Super Micro Computer, Inc. 56.07 -3.20 (-5.40%)Trending TickersNQ=F Nasdaq 100 Mar 25 21,774.25 +95.00 (+0.44%)ES=F E-Mini S&P 500 Mar 25 6,057.00 +28.00 (+0.46%)YM=F Mini Dow Jones Indus.-$5 Mar 25 43,688.00 +202.00 (+0.46%)BTC-USD Bitcoin USD 95,691.11 -836.77 (-0.87%)NVDA NVIDIA Corporation 134.40 -5.71 (-4.08%)Top Economic Events
