PAREXEL International Management Efficiency

The company has return on total asset (ROA) of 0.0471 % which means that it generated a profit of $0.0471 on every $100 spent on assets. This is way below average. Similarly, it shows a return on stockholder's equity (ROE) of 0.15 %, meaning that it created $0.15 on every $100 dollars invested by stockholders. PAREXEL International's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well PAREXEL International manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
The company currently holds 671.5 M in liabilities with Debt to Equity (D/E) ratio of 105.8, indicating the company may have difficulties to generate enough cash to satisfy its financial obligations. PAREXEL International has a current ratio of 1.42, which is within standard range for the sector. Debt can assist PAREXEL International until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, PAREXEL International'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 PAREXEL International sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for PAREXEL to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about PAREXEL International's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
