In the same way, it shows a return on shareholders' equity (ROE) of 17.29 %, implying that it generated $17.29 on every 100 dollars invested. CAI International's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well CAI International manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
CAI International has 1.82 B in debt with debt to equity (D/E) ratio of 2.41, meaning that the company heavily relies on borrowing funds for operations.

Note however, debt could still be an excellent tool for CAI to invest in growth at high rates of return.
