Financial Health Ratios - look into the company’s solvency and liquidity
ratios.
Solvency - refers to the company’s capacity to pay their long-term
liabilities. On the other hand, liquidity ratio intends to
measure the company’s ability to pay debts that are coming due (short
term debt).
- Debt ratio - indicates the percentage of the company’s assets that are
financed by debt. A high debt
to asset ratio implies a high level of debt.
- Equity ratio - indicates the percentage of the company’s assets that are
financed by capital. A high
equity to asset ratio implies a high level of capital.
- Debt to equity ratio - indicates the company’s reliance to debt or liability
as a source of financing
relative to equity. A high ratio suggests a high level of debt that may result
in high interest expense.
- Interest coverage- ratio measures the company’s ability to cover the
interest expense on its liability with its operating income. Creditors prefer
a high coverage ratio to give them protection that interest due to them can
be paid.
- Current ratio- is used to evaluate the company’s liquidity. It seeks to
measure whether there are sufficient current assets to pay for current
liabilities. Creditors normally prefer a current ratio of 2.
- Quick ratio- is a stricter measure of liquidity. It does not consider all the
current assets, only those that are easier to liquidate such as cash and
accounts receivable that are referred to as quick assets.
