Verified Expert

The financial performance of Eagle Company has been better in 2017 as compared to 2016. The profitability margin, earnings per share, assets turnover ratio are all seen to be improving. However, the price-earnings ratio and the payout ratio have deteriorated as compared to previous year. This indicates that investors may have less favourability towards the stock. The ratios also indicate that the solvency ratios have been better with debt to total assets reducing indictable of the reduction of debt burden of the entity.
