The quick ratio of Textron Inc has exhibited significant fluctuations over the past five years, ranging from 0.01 to 24.60. In 2019, the quick ratio was exceptionally high at 24.60, indicating the company had a substantial amount of highly liquid assets relative to its current liabilities.

In the most recent year, as of December 31, 2023, the quick ratio plummeted to 0.01, suggesting a concerning situation where the company may have a minimal amount of liquid assets available to cover its immediate financial obligations. This sharp decline raises red flags about Textron Inc's liquidity position and ability to meet short-term liabilities.

Overall, the decreasing trend in the quick ratio indicates a potential deterioration in Textron Inc's liquidity over the years, highlighting the importance of closely monitoring the company's ability to efficiently manage its short-term financial obligations.
