Liquidity
| Metric | Value | Percentile | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|

| Current Ratio | 2.04 | 69th | Calculated as the ratio of Current Assets / Current Liabilities. The higher the current ratio, the more capable the company is of paying its obligations |
| Quick Ratio | 0.78 | 48th | Calculated as the ratio of (Cash + Marketable Securities + Accounts Receivable) / Current Liabilities. The quick ratio is a measure of how well a company can meet its short-term financial liabilities. |
Leverage
| Metric | Value | Percentile | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| Debt/Assets | 0.24 | 69th | Calculated as the ratio of Short-Term Debt + Long-Term Debt / Total Assets. The higher the ratio, the higher the degree of leverage, and consequently, financial risk |
| Debt/Equity | 0.47 | 61st | Calculated as the ratio of Total Liabilities / Shareholders' Equity. The ratio indicates how much debt a company is using to finance its assets relative to the amount of value represented in shareholders’ equity |
