With the frequent increase in bankruptcy filings in Brazil, companies must rely on more accurate tools to assess liquidity. This article introduces the Restricted-Leveraged Quick Ratio (RLQR) as a new indicator designed to provide a more precise solvency analysis, especially for leveraged companies. The RLQR adjusts financial liabilities and interest expenses, excluding inventories, to reflect more accurately a company’s capacity to cover its financial obligations. Based on data from 12 Brazilian companies listed on the B3 stock exchange, including two in judicial recovery, the RLQR proved more effective than traditional indicators, offering a high coefficient of determination (R²) and robust statistical significance. Hence, RLQR is recommended as a preferred metric for liquidity analysis in challenging economic environments.
