Western Investment Management Efficiency

Similarly, it shows a return on stockholder's equity (ROE) of (0.0591) %, meaning that it created substantial loss on money invested by shareholders. Western Investment's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Western Investment manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities. Total Current Assets is likely to climb to about 1.2 M in 2024, whereas Total Assets are likely to drop slightly above 17.5 M in 2024.
Western Investment currently holds 1.12 M in liabilities with Debt to Equity (D/E) ratio of 0.36, which is about average as compared to similar companies. Western Investment has a current ratio of 0.24, indicating that it has a negative working capital and may not be able to pay financial obligations when due. Debt can assist Western Investment until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Western Investment'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 Western Investment sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Western to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Western Investment's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
