Great Wes Management Efficiency

Great Wes' management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Great Wes manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
Great Wes 515 has accumulated 9.63 B in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 25.3, indicating the company may have difficulties to generate enough cash to satisfy its financial obligations. Great Wes 515 has a current ratio of 11.28, suggesting that it is liquid and has the ability to pay its financial obligations in time and when they become due. Debt can assist Great Wes until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Great Wes' 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 Great Wes 515 sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Great to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Great Wes' use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
