Financial Ratios of Ace Stone Craft Limited

Here is a summary of the financial and operational metrics for Ace Stone Craft Limited for the years 2023 and 2022:

Current Ratio: With a current ratio of 48.27%, it seems there might be a data formatting issue, as the current ratio is typically expressed as a ratio (e.g., 2:1) or a decimal (e.g., 2.0). If the ratio is indeed 48.27, it would suggest an extremely high current ratio, which could indicate an excessive amount of current assets compared to current liabilities. This might be a result of inflated asset values or overstated current assets.

Return on Equity (ROE) Ratio: The return on equity ratio of 0.58% indicates that the company generated a very low return on shareholders' equity during the period. This suggests that the company's profitability relative to its equity investment is relatively low.

Return on Capital Employed (ROCE): The return on capital employed of 1.15% indicates that the company generated a modest return on its capital investments during the period. While positive, this return is relatively low and suggests room for improvement in capital efficiency.
