Clough Global Management Performance (%)

The company has Return on Asset of 0.32 % which means that on every $100 spent on assets, it made $0.32 of profit. This is way below average. In the same way, it shows a return on shareholders' equity (ROE) of (17.42) %, meaning that it generated no profit with money invested by stockholders. Clough Global's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Clough Global manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
Clough Global Allocation has 63.39 M in debt with debt to equity (D/E) ratio of 0.62, which is OK given its current industry classification. Clough Global Allocation has a current ratio of 1.26, demonstrating that it is not liquid enough and may have problems paying out its financial commitments when the payables are due. Debt can assist Clough Global until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Clough Global'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 Clough Global Allocation sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Clough to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Clough Global's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
