Nuveen Preferred's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Nuveen Preferred manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
Nuveen Preferred Securites has 1.04 B in debt with debt to equity (D/E) ratio of 0.62, which is OK given its current industry classification. Nuveen Preferred Sec has a current ratio of 0.09, suggesting that it has not enough short term capital to pay financial commitments when the payables are due. Debt can assist Nuveen Preferred until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Nuveen Preferred'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 Nuveen Preferred Sec sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Nuveen to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Nuveen Preferred's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
