Investor Management Efficiency

The company has return on total asset (ROA) of (0.0545) % which means that it has lost $0.0545 on every $100 spent on assets. This is way below average. Similarly, it shows a return on equity (ROE) of (0.116) %, meaning that it generated substantial loss on money invested by shareholders. Investor's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Investor manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
The company has accumulated 7.4 B in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 0.17, which may suggest the company is not taking enough advantage from borrowing. Investor AB has a current ratio of 2.45, suggesting that it is liquid and has the ability to pay its financial obligations in time and when they become due. Debt can assist Investor until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Investor's shareholders could walk away with nothing if the company can't fulfill its legal obligations to repay debt. However, a more frequent occurrence is when companies like Investor AB sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Investor to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Investor's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.

Please note, there is a significant difference between Investor's value and its price as these two are different measures arrived at by different means. Investors typically determine if Investor is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections. However, Investor's price is the amount at which it trades on the open market and represents the number that a seller and buyer find agreeable to each party.
