PhaseRx Management Efficiency

The company has return on total asset (ROA) of (64.2) % which means that it has lost $64.2 on every $100 spent on assets. This is way below average. Similarly, it shows a return on stockholder's equity (ROE) of (228.17) %, meaning that it created substantial loss on money invested by shareholders. PhaseRx's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well PhaseRx manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
The company currently holds 5.44 M in liabilities with Debt to Equity (D/E) ratio of 264.1, indicating the company may have difficulties to generate enough cash to satisfy its financial obligations. PhaseRx has a current ratio of 2.1, suggesting that it is liquid enough and is able to pay its financial obligations when due. Debt can assist PhaseRx until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, PhaseRx'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 PhaseRx sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for PhaseRx to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about PhaseRx's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
