How to read the five ratio families

Financial-statement analysis groups ratios into families, each answering a different question about the business. Reading them together — never one in isolation — is what separates a real analyst from a number-cruncher.

  • Liquidity — can the firm pay its near-term bills? Current, quick (acid-test) and cash ratios shrink the asset base from "everything current" down to "cash only."
  • Solvency / leverage — can it survive its long-term debt? Debt-to-equity, debt-to-assets and interest coverage (EBIT ÷ interest) measure financial risk.
  • Profitability — how much of each sales dollar becomes profit? Gross, operating and net margins, plus ROA and ROE.
  • Efficiency / activity — how hard do the assets work? Asset, inventory and receivables turnover, and days sales outstanding (DSO).
  • Market — what does the market pay for the earnings? EPS, P/E and dividend payout.
Exam tip: EBIT used here is Revenue − COGS − Operating expenses (operating income). Interest coverage and the operating margin both build on it, so getting EBIT right cascades through the whole battery.

The power of DuPont

Two companies can post an identical 22% ROE for completely different reasons. One earns it through fat margins; another through razor-thin margins but blistering asset turnover; a third simply piles on leverage. The three-factor DuPont model — net margin × asset turnover × equity multiplier — exposes which engine is actually driving the return, and how durable it is. A high ROE built almost entirely on the equity multiplier is a leverage story, and leverage cuts both ways.

Analyzer FAQs

What is the DuPont analysis?

It decomposes ROE into net profit margin, asset turnover and the equity multiplier. Multiplying the three reconstructs ROE and reveals whether returns come from profitability, asset efficiency or financial leverage.

What is a good current ratio?

Roughly 1.5 to 3.0 is generally healthy. Below 1.0 is a possible liquidity warning; well above 3.0 can mean idle cash or slow inventory. Benchmarks vary by industry, so compare against peers.

How is the quick ratio different from the current ratio?

The quick (acid-test) ratio removes inventory: (current assets − inventory) ÷ current liabilities. It is stricter because inventory can be slow to turn into cash.
