Meta Platforms Management Efficiency

The company has return on total asset (ROA) of 0.1193 % which means that it generated a profit of $0.1193 on every $100 spent on assets. This is way below average. Similarly, it shows a return on equity (ROE) of 0.1852 %, meaning that it generated $0.1852 on every $100 dollars invested by stockholders. Meta Platforms' management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Meta Platforms manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
The company has accumulated 9.92 B in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 0.09, which may suggest the company is not taking enough advantage from borrowing. Meta Platforms has a current ratio of 5.32, suggesting that it is liquid and has the ability to pay its financial obligations in time and when they become due. Debt can assist Meta Platforms until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Meta Platforms' 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 Meta Platforms sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Meta to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Meta Platforms' use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
