Maxwell Technologies Management Efficiency

The company has return on total asset (ROA) of (0.2337) % which means that it has lost $0.2337 on every $100 spent on assets. This is way below average. Similarly, it shows a return on stockholder's equity (ROE) of (43.8617) %, meaning that it created substantial loss on money invested by shareholders. Maxwell Technologies' management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Maxwell Technologies manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
The company currently holds 49.75 M in liabilities with Debt to Equity (D/E) ratio of 65.5, indicating the company may have difficulties to generate enough cash to satisfy its financial obligations. Maxwell Technologies has a current ratio of 3.12, suggesting that it is liquid enough and is able to pay its financial obligations when due. Debt can assist Maxwell Technologies until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Maxwell Technologies' 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 Maxwell Technologies sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Maxwell to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Maxwell Technologies' use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
