Fairfax Financial's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Fairfax Financial manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities. As of September 7, 2024, Total Assets is expected to decline to about 85.5 B. In addition to that, Net Tangible Assets is expected to decline to about 8.1 B
Fairfax Financial Holdings has accumulated 790.6 M in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 41.1, indicating the company may have difficulties to generate enough cash to satisfy its financial obligations. Fairfax Financial has a current ratio of 1.94, which is within standard range for the sector. Debt can assist Fairfax Financial until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Fairfax Financial'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 Fairfax Financial sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Fairfax to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Fairfax Financial's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
