AVNT Liquidity & Efficiency
Short-term solvency ratios and asset-utilisation metrics
A current ratio of 1.66x means Avient Corporation can comfortably meet its short-term obligations, though there is limited excess liquidity. The quick ratio of 1.22x is notably lower than the current ratio, indicating a significant portion of current assets is tied up in inventory. The current ratio has declined from 1.82x to 1.66x over the past 3 years.

AVNT Shareholder Yields
Earnings, FCF, buyback, and dividend yields — total returns to shareholders
Avient Corporation returns 3.0% to shareholders annually — split between a 2.9% dividend yield and 0.1% buyback yield. The payout ratio exceeds 100% at 120.6%, meaning the company is paying out more than it earns — this level is unsustainable long-term without earnings recovery. The earnings yield of 2.4% (inverse of P/E) provides a useful comparison to bond yields when assessing the stock's relative attractiveness to fixed income.
