Statistical characteristics of two features have been used: current ratio indicator and quick ratio indicator, determining the location, spread, asymmetry and flattening characteristics. The analysis constructed in such a multidimension way was to enable a proper verification of the hypothesis stated. Findings: The results of the research has not verified the research hypothesis positively: the companies of a given sector had not compounded, and even improved their financial security measured with the use of traditional liquidity indicators.

Originality/value: In the process of data analysis certain characteristic features were observed: the average indicators in the sector are much higher than middle indicators which indicates the need to have a closer look at average data.
