The quick ratio of Planet Fitness Inc has shown a decreasing trend over the years from 2020 to 2024. In 2020, the quick ratio was 4.27, indicating a strong ability to meet short-term liabilities using its most liquid assets. However, this ratio decreased to 3.34 in 2021, 1.95 in 2022, 2.13 in 2023, and 1.78 in 2024, pointing to a reduction in the company's ability to cover its short-term obligations with its quick assets. A quick ratio below 1 suggests potential liquidity issues, so it is important for Planet Fitness to monitor and manage its liquidity position to ensure it can meet its short-term financial obligations efficiently.
