Syngenta Management Efficiency

The company has return on total asset (ROA) of 5.85 % which means that it generated a profit of $5.85 on every $100 spent on assets. This is normal as compared to the sector avarege. Similarly, it shows a return on equity (ROE) of 12.45 %, meaning that it generated $12.45 on every $100 dollars invested by stockholders. Syngenta's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Syngenta manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
The company has accumulated 5.63 B in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 63.8, indicating the company may have difficulties to generate enough cash to satisfy its financial obligations. Syngenta AG has a current ratio of 1.6, which is within standard range for the sector. Debt can assist Syngenta until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Syngenta'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 Syngenta AG sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Syngenta to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Syngenta's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
