Rite Aid Management Efficiency

Rite Aid's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Rite Aid manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
The company has 5.82 B in debt. Rite Aid has a current ratio of 1.3, demonstrating that it may have difficulties to pay its financial commitments when the payables are due. Debt can assist Rite Aid until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Rite Aid'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 Rite Aid sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Rite to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Rite Aid's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
