Signal Genetics Management Efficiency

The company has return on total asset (ROA) of (0.56) % which means that it has lost $0.56 on every $100 spent on assets. This is way below average. Signal Genetics' management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Signal Genetics manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
The company currently holds 1.1 M in liabilities with Debt to Equity (D/E) ratio of 0.24, which may suggest the company is not taking enough advantage from borrowing. Signal Genetics has a current ratio of 2.23, suggesting that it is liquid enough and is able to pay its financial obligations when due. Debt can assist Signal Genetics until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Signal Genetics' 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 Signal Genetics sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Signal to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Signal Genetics' use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
