Current Ratio
The current ratio is a liquidity ratio that measures a company's ability to pay short-term
obligations or those due within one year. It tells investors and analysts how a company can
maximize the current assets on its balance sheet to satisfy its current debt and other payables.

industry groups, overgeneralization of the specific asset and liability balances, and the lack of
trending information.

Debt to equity Ratio
The debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio is calculated by dividing a company’s total liabilities by its
shareholder equity. These numbers are available on the balance sheet of a company’s
financial statements.
The ratio is used to evaluate a company's financial leverage. The D/E ratio is an important
metric used in corporate finance. It is a measure of the degree to which a company is
financing its operations through debt versus wholly-owned funds. More specifically, it
reflects the ability of shareholder equity to cover all outstanding debts in the event of a
business downturn.

Dividend Payout Ratio
The dividend pay-out ratio is the ratio of the total amount of dividends paid out to
shareholders relative to the net income of the company. It is the percentage of earnings paid
to shareholders in dividends. The amount that is not paid to shareholders is retained by the
company to pay off debt or to reinvest in core operations.
Several considerations go into interpreting the dividend payout ratio, most importantly the
company's level of maturity. A new, growth-oriented company that aims to expand, develop
new products, and move into new markets would be expected to reinvest most or all of its
earnings and could be forgiven for having a low or even zero payout ratio.
