Telefonica Management Efficiency

Telefonica's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Telefonica manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
Telefonica has accumulated 33.45 B in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 1.64, which is about average as compared to similar companies. Telefonica has a current ratio of 1.19, suggesting that it may have difficulties to pay its financial obligations in time and when they become due. Debt can assist Telefonica until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Telefonica'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 Telefonica sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Telefonica to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Telefonica's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
