Fitbit Management Efficiency

The company has Return on Asset of (17.86) % which means that on every $100 spent on assets, it lost $17.86. This is way below average. In the same way, it shows a return on shareholders' equity (ROE) of (52.99) %, meaning that it generated no profit with money invested by stockholders. Fitbit's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Fitbit manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
The company has 81.43 M in debt with debt to equity (D/E) ratio of 0.21, which may show that the company is not taking advantage of profits from borrowing. Fitbit Inc has a current ratio of 1.37, which is typical for the industry and considered as normal. Debt can assist Fitbit until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Fitbit'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 Fitbit Inc sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Fitbit to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Fitbit's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
