Similarly, it shows a return on equity (ROE) of 6.65 %, meaning that it generated $6.65 on every $100 dollars invested by stockholders. Vifor Pharma's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Vifor Pharma manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
The company has accumulated 587.5 M in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 0.15, which may suggest the company is not taking enough advantage from borrowing. Vifor Pharma AG has a current ratio of 1.87, which is within standard range for the sector. Debt can assist Vifor Pharma until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Vifor Pharma'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 Vifor Pharma AG sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Vifor to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Vifor Pharma's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
