Ranking
Current liquidity ratio of managing companies

Information agency Credinform presents ranking of the largest Russian holding management companies. Enterprises with the largest volume of annual revenue (TOP-10), engaged in management of holding companies, financial industrial groups and management consultancy, were selected for the analysis, according to the data from the Statistical Register for the latest available periods (for 2015-2017). Then they were ranked by decrease in current liquidity ratio (Table 1). The analysis was made on the basis of the data of the Information and Analytical system Globas.

The current liquidity ratio(х) is calculated as the relation of the sum of working assets to short-term liabilities.

Recommenmded value is from 1,0 to 2,0. Value of the indicator less than 1,0 demonstrates that short-term liabilities exceed current working assets. Therefore, lower limit of the interval reveals need to provide sufficiency of working assets for complete payment of short-term liabilities. Otherwise, it may cause bankruptcy of an enterprise. However, significant increase of short-term assets over liabilities can demonstrate impairment of capital structure and irrational investments of funds.

The experts of the Information agency Credinform, taking into account the actual situation both in the economy as a whole and in 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 holding management companies practical value of the current liquidity ratio amounted from 0,71 to 5,17 in 2017.

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.

Enterprises with the largest volume of annual revenue (TOP-10 and TOP-100), were selected for the analysis, according to the data from the Statistical Register for the latest available periods (for 2015-2017).

The largest company in terms of net assets amount is JSC UNITED SHIPBUILDING CORPORATION. In 2018 net assets of the company amounted to almost 250 billion RUB.

JSC VYBORG SHIPYARD had the smallest amount of net assets in the TOP-100 group. Insufficiency of property of the company in 2018 was expressed in negative value -511 million RUB.

For a ten-year period average amount of net assets of TOP-100 companies has increasing tendency (Picture 1).

Sufficiently low level of average values of the indicators of the return on investment ratio with increasing tendency has been observed for ten years (Picture 8).
