FIRST REP financial leverage ratio helps determine the effect of debt on the overall profitability of the company. It measures the total debt position of FIRST REP, including all of FIRST REP's outstanding debt obligations, and compares it with the equity. In simple terms, the high financial leverage means the cost of production, together with running the business day-to-day, is high, whereas, lower financial leverage implies lower fixed cost investment in the business and generally considered by investors to be a good sign. So if creditors own a majority of FIRST REP assets, the company is considered highly leveraged. Understanding the composition and structure of overall FIRST REP debt and outstanding corporate bonds gives a good idea of how risky the capital structure of a business is and if it is worth investing in it.

Watch out for price decline

Please consider monitoring FIRST REP on a daily basis if you are holding a position in it. FIRST REP is trading at a penny-stock level, and the possibility of delisting is much higher compared to other delisted stocks. However, just because the stock is trading under one dollar, does not mean it will be marked for deletion. Most exchanges require public instruments, such as FIRST REP stock to be traded above the $1 level to remain listed. If FIRST REP stock price falls below $1 for 30 consecutive trading days, the exchange can delist it. Once the company reaches this point, they will be sent an initial price violation notice directly from an exchange.

How important is FIRST REP's Liquidity

FIRST REP financial leverage refers to using borrowed capital as a funding source to finance FIRST REP BK ongoing operations.
