If you are an investor, what you value is the profitability of the company. I hope the operation of the company can create more wealth for you.
But then again, the company's solvency and profitability are also related. Generally speaking, the stronger the profitability, the stronger the solvency of the company; When the company's solvency is poor, it can't repay its debts on time or even face bankruptcy liquidation, survival is a problem and there is no way to make a profit.

33 1∶686, the positive and negative aspects of solvency are hidden in the current quick ratio.
In addition to industries with fast turnover, some long-term investment industries and capital-intensive industries are also facing huge short-term debt pressure.
If your customer has a good turnover rate but a poor quick ratio, will you still lend him money?
To answer this question, we must first understand the concepts of current ratio and quick ratio. The former represents the repayment ability of the current assets of the enterprise, and the low current ratio means that the short-term repayment ability of the enterprise is not strong; However, high liquidity ratio is not a good thing, which shows that enterprises are not good at debt management, operators are too conservative and short-term capital utilization efficiency is poor.
Compared with the current ratio, the quick ratio is more demanding. It represents the repayment ability of quick assets of enterprises. Because quick assets are composed of cash, short-term investments and accounts receivable, the quick ratio can reflect the ability of these assets to repay debts in a short period of time.
Theoretically, if a company's current ratio is greater than 2 and its quick ratio is greater than 1, its ability to repay its current liabilities in the short term will be stronger. If the current ratio is higher than 1.8, and the quick ratio is higher than 0.8, then only 33 1 company out of 1404 listed companies that can be analyzed according to wind information meets the above two conditions, accounting for 23.6%. The remaining 1 000-odd listed companies, although unable to say that their short-term repayment ability is weak, will have the possibility of financial collapse in case of inventory and other situations that are difficult to realize immediately.
673 companies improved their short-term solvency.
Short-term debt often puts more pressure on enterprises than long-term debt. Short-term debt not only requires enterprises to face repayment pressure within 1 year, but also causes a vicious circle of capital shortage and profit reduction, making them unable to repay debts. Therefore, in addition to financial enterprises, the ability to repay short-term debts is particularly important to enterprises.
According to the statistics of Financial Weekly, the average current ratio of 1404 listed companies analyzed in 2007 was 1.59, and the quick ratio was1.65,438+04, which increased by 6% and 70% respectively. Among them, there are 673 companies whose current ratio and quick ratio increase at the same time, accounting for 48%. Short-term debt repayment ability has improved, but it does not mean that short-term repayment ability is good.
Among the 673 listed companies with improved short-term solvency, Huaxia Jiantong (600 149 stock market, stock bar) (600 149. SH) is the company with the highest increase in current ratio and quick ratio, with an increase of 9.8 and 8.5 respectively. Looking at its annual report, it is not difficult to find that the reason why the company's current ratio and quick ratio have increased significantly is that it replaced the original rolling processing business after asset reorganization at the end of 2006, and at the same time recovered the accounts receivable, other accounts receivable and prepayments that occurred when developing the community big screen system in 2007. All these measures have increased current assets and reduced current liabilities. In addition to Huaxia Jiantong, Wei Bei Communication (002 148 Quotes, Share Bar) (002 148. SZ), ST Langsha (600 137 quotation, stock bar) (600 137). SH) and zhongcheng co., ltd.
The ability of several companies to repay short-term debts sounded the alarm.
If companies whose current ratio is lower than 1.5 and quick ratio is lower than 0.8 are regarded as weak in short-term repayment ability, then 686 listed companies in 1404 need to pay attention to their short-term repayment ability.
Further research shows that short-term loans generally account for a large proportion in commercial trade, biomedicine, household appliances and other industries because of the fast flow of funds. For example, Suning Appliance (002024 stock market, stock bar) (002024. SZ), the company's total liabilities in 2007 were114.02 million yuan, including current liabilities113910 million yuan and non-current liabilities. However, due to the rapid turnover of funds in the home appliance industry, high current liabilities seem risky, but the current ratio of Suning Appliance 1. 19 shows that its repayment ability is good and the repayment pressure is relatively small. On the contrary, the situation of ST Kelon (00092 1. SZ) is very different. Its annual report shows that in 2007, the company's total liabilities were 5.04 billion yuan, including current liabilities of 4.84 billion yuan, accounting for 96%; At the same time, the company's current ratio and quick ratio are only 0.5 and 0.3, respectively, which are far lower than the industry average of household appliances industry 1.03 and 0.63. In addition, there is Huayi Compression (000404 quotes, share it) (000404. SZ), Jilin Pharmaceutical (000545. SZ) and Beihai Guofa (6000). Share it) (600538). SH), Taiji Group (600 129 quotation, stock bar) (600 129). SH), Changbai Group (600856 quotation, stock bar) (600856). SH) and so on.
In addition to industries with fast turnover, some long-term investment industries and capital-intensive industries need to light up red lights if they also have huge short-term debt pressure. For example, Weiyuan Biochemical (600803, stock bar), Liuguo Chemical (600470, stock bar), Guitang (000833, stock bar), Nanning Sugar (0009 165438, stock bar) and Guannong (6002566). SH), public service industry, extractive industry represented by Meijin Energy (000723 quotation, share it) (000723). SZ)。 What these industries need is stable long-term financing ability, not short-term robbing Peter to pay Paul to borrow money.
For industrial enterprises, especially light industries with good turnover such as metal products, the situation is slightly special. Generally, a short-term fund is continuously recovered, and the standard can be slightly relaxed.
For housing enterprises in a sensitive period, cash flow is extremely important, and high short-term debt is undoubtedly a depressing news. And think about development (600748 stock market, stock bar) (600748. SH), 10 month (000069. SZ) and Lujiazui (600663 stock market, stock bar) (600663. SH) are facing greater financial risks.
