Luna Innovations Management Efficiency

Luna Innovations' management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Luna Innovations manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
Luna Innovations Incorporated currently holds 28.32 M in liabilities with Debt to Equity (D/E) ratio of 0.3, which may suggest the company is not taking enough advantage from borrowing. Luna Innovations has a current ratio of 2.33, suggesting that it is liquid enough and is able to pay its financial obligations when due. Debt can assist Luna Innovations until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Luna Innovations' 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 Luna Innovations sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Luna to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Luna Innovations' use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
