Berkshire Hathaway 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 (0.0443) %, meaning that it generated substantial loss on money invested by shareholders. Berkshire Hathaway's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Berkshire Hathaway manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
Berkshire Hathaway has accumulated 120.31 B in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 27.7, indicating the company may have difficulties to generate enough cash to satisfy its financial obligations. Berkshire Hathaway has a current ratio of 1.74, which is within standard range for the sector. Debt can assist Berkshire Hathaway until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Berkshire Hathaway'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 Berkshire Hathaway sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Berkshire to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Berkshire Hathaway's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
