Sonic Corp Management Efficiency

Sonic Corp's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Sonic Corp manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
The company currently holds 721.19 M in liabilities. Sonic Corp has a current ratio of 1.65, which is within standard range for the sector. Debt can assist Sonic Corp until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Sonic Corp'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 Sonic Corp sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Sonic to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Sonic Corp's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
