Are these compression valves under my kitchen sink that I swap out with new ones easily without any cutting?

It's àlways best to replace the nut and ferrule as well. To do so you can use a dremel and carefully cut the ferrule off without scoring the pipe or you can get a tubing flare kit. Most of them if not all, comes with a bullet type peice and allows you to grip onto the nut and tighten down until the nut and ferrule come off. Sometimes you do not have enough room and is why it might be necessary to use a dremel.

Ferrule puller will slide the ring off. Take 30 seconds with a trigger style ferrule puller

YMMV, your mileage may vary, but I was lucky enough not not need to remove the ferrule and nut when replacing all the multiturn valves in my house with quarter turn valves. I just screwed the new valves on and tightened appropriately. My pipes are CPVC and not copper so that may or may not make a difference.

You could leave the valve bodies and just replace the inside guts. Unless the valve bodies are bad that’s the easiest.
