Comcast Management Efficiency

The company has return on total asset (ROA) of 0.053 % which means that it generated a profit of $0.053 on every $100 spent on assets. This is way below average. Similarly, it shows a return on equity (ROE) of 0.0547 %, meaning that it generated $0.0547 on every $100 dollars invested by stockholders. Comcast's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Comcast manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
Comcast has accumulated 93.07 B in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 1.07, which is about average as compared to similar companies. Comcast has a current ratio of 0.9, indicating that it has a negative working capital and may not be able to pay financial obligations in time and when they become due. Debt can assist Comcast until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Comcast'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 Comcast sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Comcast to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Comcast's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
