Abacus Group  (ASX:ABG) Cash Ratio Explanation

The cash ratio is more conservative than other liquidity ratios, such as Quick Ratio and Current Ratio, because it only considers a company's most liquid resources. The numerator of cash ratio only considers Cash, Cash Equivalents and marketable securities. Other current assets, such as accounts receivable and inventories, are not included. The rationale is that these assets may require time to be transformed into cash, and the amount of money received is also uncertain.

The cash ratio shows a company’s ability to pay all current liabilities immediately without selling or liquidating other assets. Generally speaking, a higher cash ratio suggests the company has a stronger ability to cover its short-term debt. However, a high cash ratio could also indicate inefficient management: the company is inefficient in making full utilization of cash to invest protential profitable project. It may also suggest that the company is not confident about future profitability.

In general, the higher the cash ratio, the better the company's liquidity position.

Abacus Group (ASX:ABG) Business Description

Traded in Other Exchanges
Address
77 Castlereagh Street, Level 13, Sydney, NSW, AUS, 2000
Abacus Group is primarily focused on storage and office property, with minor interests in other subsectors such as retail property. Its storage business remains an active acquirer and developer of property. Management separated the storage business in mid-2023. We don't view the separation as creating value in itself, however, we view it as a potential catalyst that could prompt the market to recognize latent value in Abacus' assets. However, it will likely take time for the market to get familiar with the two Abacus vehicles and its new structure.
