A quick ratio below 1 indicates that the company may have difficulty meeting its short-term liabilities with its current quick assets alone. The declining trend in Synnex Corporation's quick ratio could raise concerns about its liquidity position and ability to cover immediate financial obligations. Further analysis of the company's cash flow and working capital management may be warranted to assess its liquidity risk.
