PMC Sierra Management Efficiency

The company has return on total asset (ROA) of (0.037) % which means that it has lost $0.037 on every $100 spent on assets. This is way below average. PMC Sierra's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well PMC Sierra manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
The company currently holds 36.3 M in liabilities with Debt to Equity (D/E) ratio of 0.05, which may suggest the company is not taking enough advantage from borrowing. PMC-Sierra has a current ratio of 1.72, which is within standard range for the sector. Debt can assist PMC Sierra until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, PMC Sierra'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 PMC-Sierra sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for PMC to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about PMC Sierra's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
