The quick ratio of Dupont De Nemours Inc has fluctuated over the analyzed period, ranging from a low of 0.21 on March 31, 2020, to a high of 1.42 on March 31, 2023. The quick ratio measures the company's ability to meet its short-term obligations with its most liquid assets.
A quick ratio below 1 indicates that the company may have difficulty meeting its short-term obligations using only its quick assets (current assets excluding inventory). Throughout the period, Dupont De Nemours Inc generally maintained a quick ratio below 1, with some quarters showing improvements such as the ratios exceeding 1 in later periods like March 31, 2023, and June 30, 2023.
The ratio dipped after that, hitting lows of 0.36 on September 30, 2023, and 0.39 on December 31, 2024. These fluctuations could indicate changing business conditions or management's strategy regarding liquidity and working capital management. Overall, a quick ratio of less than 1 for most of the period suggests that Dupont De Nemours Inc may have faced challenges in meeting its short-term obligations with its liquid assets alone.
