Weir Group Management Efficiency

The company has return on total asset (ROA) of 0.049 % which means that it generated a profit of $0.049 on every $100 spent on assets. This is way below average. Similarly, it shows a return on equity (ROE) of 0.1129 %, meaning that it generated $0.1129 on every $100 dollars invested by stockholders. Weir Group's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Weir Group manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
The company has accumulated 731.2 M in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 0.86, which is about average as compared to similar companies. Weir Group PLC has a current ratio of 1.88, which is within standard range for the sector. Debt can assist Weir Group until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Weir Group'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 Weir Group PLC sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Weir to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Weir Group's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
