Quotient financial leverage ratio helps determine the effect of debt on the overall profitability of the company. It measures the total debt position of Quotient, including all of Quotient'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 Quotient assets, the company is considered highly leveraged. Understanding the composition and structure of overall Quotient 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 Quotient on a daily basis if you are holding a position in it. Quotient 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 Quotient stock to be traded above the $1 level to remain listed. If Quotient 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 Quotient's Liquidity

Quotient financial leverage refers to using borrowed capital as a funding source to finance Quotient ongoing operations. It is usually used to expand the firm's asset base and generate returns on borrowed capital. Quotient 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 Quotient'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 Quotient'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). Please check the breakdown between Quotient's total debt and its cash.
