Red Hat Management Efficiency
Red Hat's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Red Hat manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.The company has 423.91 M in debt with debt to equity (D/E) ratio of 24.1, demonstrating that the company may be unable to create cash to meet all of its financial commitments. Red Hat has a current ratio of 1.22, demonstrating that it may have difficulties to pay its financial commitments when the payables are due. Debt can assist Red Hat until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Red Hat'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 Red Hat sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Red to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Red Hat's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
