Advance Auto Management Efficiency

The company has return on total asset (ROA) of 0.0382 % which means that it generated a profit of $0.0382 on every $100 spent on assets. This is way below average. Similarly, it shows a return on equity (ROE) of 0.1613 %, meaning that it generated $0.1613 on every $100 dollars invested by stockholders. Advance Auto's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Advance Auto manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
The company has accumulated 1.03 B in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 91.6, indicating the company may have difficulties to generate enough cash to satisfy its financial obligations. Advance Auto Parts has a current ratio of 1.32, which is within standard range for the sector. Debt can assist Advance Auto until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Advance Auto'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 Advance Auto Parts sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Advance to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Advance Auto's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
