Annual Yield

April 25, 2017

Macroaxis Story

When looking at a stock or equity, there are several data points to keep in mind, from dividend yield to current ratio. Another data point you should pull into your research is the annual yield, which simply put, is how much money to company made per share, including dividends and other returns on that investment. Many people look at this as a way to gauge the company against others in the industry, but it may not tell the whole story. The company could have had a subpar year, but it could have been due to marketing efforts or restructuring.

How important is Atea ASA's Liquidity

Atea ASA financial leverage refers to using borrowed capital as a funding source to finance Atea ASA ongoing operations. It is usually used to expand the firm's asset base and generate returns on borrowed capital. Atea ASA financial leverage is typically calculated by taking the company's all interest-bearing debt and dividing it by total capital. So the higher the debt-to-capital ratio (i.e., financial leverage), the riskier the company. Financial leverage can amplify the potential profits to Atea ASA's owners, but it also increases the potential losses and risk of financial distress, including bankruptcy, if the firm cannot cover its debt costs. The degree of Atea ASA's financial leverage can be measured in several ways, including by ratios such as the debt-to-equity ratio (total debt / total equity), equity multiplier (total assets / total equity), or the debt ratio (total debt / total assets).
