Wharf Management Efficiency

The company has return on total asset (ROA) of 0.0185 % which means that it generated a profit of $0.0185 on every $100 spent on assets. This is way below average. Similarly, it shows a return on equity (ROE) of 0.0323 %, meaning that it generated $0.0323 on every $100 dollars invested by stockholders. Wharf's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Wharf manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
The company has accumulated 33.08 B in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 0.18, which may suggest the company is not taking enough advantage from borrowing. Wharf Limited has a current ratio of 1.65, which is within standard range for the sector. Debt can assist Wharf until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Wharf'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 Wharf Limited sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Wharf to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Wharf's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.

Please note, there is a significant difference between Wharf's value and its price as these two are different measures arrived at by different means. Investors typically determine if Wharf is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections. However, Wharf's price is the amount at which it trades on the open market and represents the number that a seller and buyer find agreeable to each party.
