Chesswood Group Management Efficiency

The company has return on total asset (ROA) of (0.0184) % which means that it has lost $0.0184 on every $100 spent on assets. This is way below average. Similarly, it shows a return on equity (ROE) of (0.1979) %, meaning that it generated substantial loss on money invested by shareholders. Chesswood Group's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Chesswood Group manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
Chesswood Group Limited has accumulated 1.96 B in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 5.24, indicating the company may have difficulties to generate enough cash to satisfy its financial obligations. Chesswood Group has a current ratio of 40.09, suggesting that it is liquid and has the ability to pay its financial obligations in time and when they become due. Debt can assist Chesswood Group until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Chesswood Group's shareholders could walk away with nothing if the company can't fulfill its legal obligations to repay debt. However, a more frequent occurrence is when companies like Chesswood Group sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Chesswood to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Chesswood Group's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.

A correlation greater than 0.8 is generally described as strong, whereas a correlation less than 0.5 is generally considered weak.
