Elisa Oyj Management Efficiency

The company has return on total asset (ROA) of 0.096 % which means that it generated a profit of $0.096 on every $100 spent on assets. This is way below average.

Elisa Oyj's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Elisa Oyj manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
Elisa Oyj has accumulated 995 M in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 1.42, which is about average as compared to similar companies. Elisa Oyj has a current ratio of 1.02, suggesting that it is not liquid enough and may have problems paying out its financial obligations in time and when they become due. Debt can assist Elisa Oyj until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Elisa Oyj'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 Elisa Oyj sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Elisa to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Elisa Oyj's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
