How important is Superconductor Technologies's Liquidity

Superconductor Technologies financial leverage refers to using borrowed capital as a funding source to finance Superconductor Technologies ongoing operations. It is usually used to expand the firm's asset base and generate returns on borrowed capital. Superconductor Technologies 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 Superconductor Technologies' 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 Superconductor Technologies' 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).

Our Takeaway on Superconductor Investment

Whereas some other companies in the semiconductor equipment & materials industry are either recovering or due for a correction, Superconductor may not be performing as strong as the other in terms of long-term growth potentials. All things considered, as of the 7th of November 2020, our research shows that Superconductor is a rather out of control investment opportunity with a significantly high probability of distress in the next two years. From a slightly different view, the entity currently appears to be fairly valued. However, our primary 30 days buy-hold-sell advice on the company is Strong Sell.
