Sierra Wireless Management Efficiency

The company has return on total asset (ROA) of 0.0215 % which means that it generated a profit of $0.0215 on every $100 spent on assets. This is way below average. Similarly, it shows a return on stockholder's equity (ROE) of (0.0896) %, meaning that it created substantial loss on money invested by shareholders. Sierra Wireless' management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Sierra Wireless manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
The company currently holds 9.39 M in liabilities with Debt to Equity (D/E) ratio of 0.25, which may suggest the company is not taking enough advantage from borrowing. Sierra Wireless has a current ratio of 1.79, which is within standard range for the sector. Debt can assist Sierra Wireless until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Sierra Wireless' 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 Sierra Wireless sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Sierra to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Sierra Wireless' use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
