Vivint Solar Management Efficiency

The company has return on total asset (ROA) of (3.55) % which means that it has lost $3.55 on every $100 spent on assets. This is way below average. Similarly, it shows a return on stockholder's equity (ROE) of (123.05) %, meaning that it created substantial loss on money invested by shareholders. Vivint Solar's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Vivint Solar manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
The company currently holds 1.97 B in liabilities with Debt to Equity (D/E) ratio of 6.52, indicating the company may have difficulties to generate enough cash to satisfy its financial obligations. Vivint Solar has a current ratio of 1.99, which is within standard range for the sector. Debt can assist Vivint Solar until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Vivint Solar'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 Vivint Solar sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Vivint to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Vivint Solar's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
