Xura Management Efficiency

Xura's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Xura manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
The company currently holds 152.96 M in liabilities with Debt to Equity (D/E) ratio of 0.84, which is about average as compared to similar companies. Xura Inc has a current ratio of 1.05, suggesting that it may not be capable to disburse its financial obligations when due. Debt can assist Xura until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Xura'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 Xura Inc sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Xura to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Xura's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
