Absolute liquidity ratio of the largest Russian manufacturers and suppliers of equipment for the food industry
ranking 05/07/2018
Information agency Credinform represents the ranking of the largest Russian manufacturers and suppliers of equipment for the food industry. The enterprises with the largest volume of annual revenue (TOP-10) were selected for the ranking, according to the data from the Statistical Register for the latest available periods (for 2014-2016). Then they were ranked by the absolute liquidity ratio (Table 1). The analysis was made on the basis of the data of the Information and Analytical system Globas.
Absolute liquidity ratio (х) is calculated as the ratio of the amount of cash, being at the disposal of a company, to short-term liabilities. It determines the share of short-term liabilities, which an enterprise can pay off in the near future. The recommended value is from 0,1 up to 0,15. The higher is the indicator, the better is the solvency of an enterprise.
However, a too high value of the ratio may indicate an irrational capital structure and unused assets in the form of cash and funds on accounts that, over time and as a result of inflation, depreciate and lose their initial liquidity.
The experts of the Information agency Credinform, taking into account the actual situation both in the economy as a whole and in the sectors, has developed and implemented in the Information and Analytical system Globas the calculation of practical values of financial ratios that can be recognized as normal for a particular industry.
For manufacturers and suppliers of equipment for the food industry the industry average practical values of the absolute liquidity ratio made in 2016 from 0,01 up to 0,34 and 0,37, respectively.
For getting of the most comprehensive and fair picture of the financial standing of an enterprise it is necessary to pay attention to all combination of indicators and financial ratios.
