SohuCom Management Efficiency

The company has return on total asset (ROA) of (0.0283) % which means that it has lost $0.0283 on every $100 spent on assets. This is way below average. Similarly, it shows a return on stockholder's equity (ROE) of (0.0609) %, meaning that it created substantial loss on money invested by shareholders. SohuCom's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well SohuCom manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities. Return On Tangible Assets is likely to gain to -0.02 in 2024. Return On Capital Employed is likely to gain to -0.05 in 2024. At this time, SohuCom's Total Current Liabilities is comparatively stable compared to the past year. Non Current Liabilities Total is likely to gain to about 504.4 M in 2024, whereas Liabilities And Stockholders Equity is likely to drop slightly above 1.6 B in 2024.
The company currently holds 35.31 M in liabilities with Debt to Equity (D/E) ratio of 0.0, which may suggest the company is not taking enough advantage from borrowing. SohuCom has a current ratio of 3.03, suggesting that it is liquid enough and is able to pay its financial obligations when due. Debt can assist SohuCom until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, SohuCom'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 SohuCom sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for SohuCom to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about SohuCom's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
