PPL Corporation (PPL)

The company has Return on Asset of 0.0292 % which means that on every $100 spent on assets, it made $0.0292 of profit. This is way below average. In the same way, it shows a return on shareholders' equity (ROE) of 0.0531 %, implying that it generated $0.0531 on every 100 dollars invested. PPL's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well PPL manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities. At this time, PPL's Return On Tangible Assets are quite stable compared to the past year. Return On Capital Employed is expected to rise to 0.09 this year, although the value of Return On Equity will most likely fall to 0.05.

Our model determines the value of PPL Corporation from inspecting the company fundamentals such as return on equity of 0.0531, and Operating Margin of 0.23 % as well as reviewing its technical indicators and probability of bankruptcy. In general, most investors support picking up undervalued entities and discarding overvalued entities since, at some point future time, asset prices and their ongoing real values will merge together.

How important is Macroaxis's Liquidity

Macroaxis financial leverage refers to using borrowed capital as a funding source to finance Macroaxis ongoing operations. It is usually used to expand the firm's asset base and generate returns on borrowed capital. Macroaxis financial leverage is typically calculated by taking the company's all interest-bearing debt and dividing it by total capital. So the higher the debt-to-capital ratio (i.e., financial leverage), the riskier the company. Financial leverage can amplify the potential profits to Macroaxis' owners, but it also increases the potential losses and risk of financial distress, including bankruptcy, if the firm cannot cover its debt costs. The degree of Macroaxis' financial leverage can be measured in several ways, including by ratios such as the debt-to-equity ratio (total debt / total equity), equity multiplier (total assets / total equity), or the debt ratio (total debt / total assets). Please check the breakdown between Macroaxis's total debt and its cash.

Macroaxis Gross Profit

Macroaxis Gross Profit growth is one of the most critical measures in evaluating the company. The Gross Profit growth rate is calculated simply by comparing Macroaxis previous period's values with its current period's values. Each time period you're measuring should be of equal lengths the increase or decrease, in a company's Gross Profit between two periods. Here we show Macroaxis Gross Profit growth over the last 10 years. Please check Macroaxis' gross profit and other fundamental indicators for more details.
