The quick ratio of Comcast Corp has exhibited a downward trend over the past five years, declining from 0.82 as of December 31, 2020, to 0.53 as of December 31, 2024. This indicates a weakening liquidity position for the company, as the ratio measures the ability to meet short-term obligations with its most liquid assets. The decreasing trend suggests that Comcast may be facing challenges in converting its current assets into cash quickly to cover its current liabilities. It is important for the company to closely monitor its liquidity position and take necessary steps to ensure it can meet its short-term obligations effectively in the future.
