ZAP Management Efficiency

The company has return on total asset (ROA) of (11.75) % which means that it has lost $11.75 on every $100 spent on assets. This is way below average. Similarly, it shows a return on stockholder's equity (ROE) of (44.5) %, meaning that it created substantial loss on money invested by shareholders. ZAP's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well ZAP manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
The company currently holds 41.85 M in liabilities with Debt to Equity (D/E) ratio of 9.53, indicating the company may have difficulties to generate enough cash to satisfy its financial obligations. ZAP has a current ratio of 0.21, indicating that it has a negative working capital and may not be able to pay financial obligations when due. Debt can assist ZAP until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, ZAP'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 ZAP sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for ZAP to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about ZAP's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.

ZAP Stock Performance Indicators

The ability to make a profit is the ultimate goal of any investor. But to identify the right stock is not an easy task. Is ZAP a good investment? Although profit is still the single most important financial element of any organization, multiple performance indicators can help investors identify the equity that they will appreciate over time.
Some investors attempt to determine whether the market's mood is bullish or bearish by monitoring changes in market sentiment. Unlike more traditional methods such as technical analysis, investor sentiment usually refers to the aggregate attitude towards ZAP in the overall investment community. So, suppose investors can accurately measure the market's sentiment. In that case, they can use it for their benefit. For example, some tools to gauge market sentiment could be utilized using contrarian indexes, ZAP's short interest history, or implied volatility extrapolated from ZAP options trading.
