Financial Ratios 101: What Your Numbers Are Telling You

October 7, 2026  ·  By admin  ·  1 min read

Financial statements are full of numbers, but ratios turn them into answers. With just a handful of ratios you can see how healthy a business really is.

Liquidity: can you pay your bills?

The current ratio is current assets divided by current liabilities. A result above 1 means you can cover short-term obligations.

Profitability: are you making money?

The net profit margin is net profit divided by revenue. It shows how much of every dollar of sales you actually keep.

Leverage: how much debt are you carrying?

The debt-to-equity ratio compares borrowed money with owners’ money. A high number means higher risk if earnings fall.

Efficiency: are assets working hard?

Ratios such as inventory turnover and receivable days show how quickly assets turn into cash.

One ratio is a snapshot. Compare it over time and against your industry.
