Precigen Management Efficiency

Precigen's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Precigen manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
The company has 260.44 M in debt with debt to equity (D/E) ratio of 114.0, demonstrating that the company may be unable to create cash to meet all of its financial commitments. Precigen has a current ratio of 1.88, which is typical for the industry and considered as normal. Debt can assist Precigen until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Precigen'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 Precigen sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Precigen to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Precigen's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
