Performance Food financial leverage ratio helps determine the effect of debt on the overall profitability of the company. It measures the total debt position of Performance Food, including all of Performance Food'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 Performance Food assets, the company is considered highly leveraged. Understanding the
composition and structure of overall Performance Food 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. Please read more on our
technical analysis page.
Understanding Performance Total Debt

How important is Performance Food's Liquidity
Performance Food
financial leverage refers to using borrowed capital as a funding source to finance Performance Food Group ongoing operations. It is usually used to expand the firm's asset base and generate returns on borrowed capital. Performance Food 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 Performance Food's 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 Performance Food's 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).

breakdown between Performance Food's total debt and its cash.

Our take on Performance Food small slip
Current Total Risk Alpha is up to 0.1. Price may slip again. Performance Food Group currently demonstrates below-average downside deviation. It has Information Ratio of 0.08 and Jensen Alpha of 0.19. However, we advise investors to further question Performance Food Group expected returns to ensure all indicators are consistent with the current outlook about its relatively low value at risk. Understanding different market volatility trends often help investors to time the market. Properly using volatility indicators enable traders to measure Performance Food's stock risk against market volatility during both bullish and bearish trends. The higher level of volatility that comes with bear markets can directly impact Performance Food's stock price while adding stress to investors as they watch their shares' value plummet. This usually forces investors to rebalance their portfolios by buying different stocks as prices fall.
Our Final Take On Performance Food
Whereas some firms within the food distribution industry are still a little expensive, even after the recent corrections, Performance Food may offer a potential longer-term growth to investors. All things considered, as of the 17th of August 2022, our final 90 days 'Buy-Sell' recommendation on the company is
Strong Buy. We believe Performance Food is
fairly valued with
very low odds of financial distress for the next two years.
