, Ratio Analysis
The three main categories of ratios are Liquidity ratios, Profitability ratios, and Solvency ratios.
They are used in a financial calculation that compares two or more items of economic data in a
company’s statement. These ratios are considered invaluable to many investors based on the different
perspectives of a company’s financial performance and healthy standings across the economic network.
The ratios serve as resources and tools to calculate the company's operational efficiency, assess its risk
level, and determine its interest across the network. Ratios can project data reporting by a ratio from a
long period of historical data and present the data ratio to support the view of the company's
performance. It can help with a SWOT analysis, view a company's strengths from multiple angles, and
spot any red flags.
The first ratio being covered is the Liquidity ratio, which is a measurement to analyze a
company’s performance and ability to compensate its short-term debt. An example of a liquidity ratio is
the current ratio, the quick ratio, and the days' sales outstanding ratio. A summary of the examples
provides insight into how a company with a high liquidity ratio is more liquid and has the support to
cover outstanding debts. When it comes to managerial decision-making, liquidity ratios are essential for
management to support their day-to-day operations, including evaluating short-term goals and financial
well-being.
The Profitability ratio is utilized to evaluate a company's ability to generate earnings over time
relative to its revenue, operating costs, balance sheet assets, or shareholders' equity. It is the pinnacle of
a company’s operations and financial analysis. There are two high-level categories that business
profitability falls into: the margin ratios and the return ratios. Also, the efficiency ratio is utilized at times
to evaluate its internally generated income versus its after-tax profits. An example of the profitability
ratio is the ROA, which includes gross profit margin, net profit margin, and return on assets. Its ratios
support the efficiency with which a company is being run using its resources to create a profit. When it
