2) Quick
Ratio 0.33 0.44 0.43 0.38 0.37
Current Ratio:
The ratio has decreased from 0.58 in 2022 to 0.45 in 2023. This suggests a potential
reduction in the company's short-term liquidity, as it now has fewer current assets to
cover current liabilities.
Quick Ratio:
The decrease from 0.44 in 2022 to 0.33 in 2023 indicates a decline in the company's
ability to cover immediate obligations with its most liquid assets. This might signal a
decrease in short-term financial health.
Cash Ratio:
The drop from 0.10 in 2022 to 0.05 in 2023 implies a reduced capacity to cover
short-term liabilities with cash alone. This may indicate a need for improved cash
management or a potential liquidity challenge.
The decreasing trend in these ratios suggests a possible liquidity strain for Tata Motors
in the recent period, which might warrant further investigation into the company's
financial health and management strategies.

financed by debt. This indicates a positive trend towards a more conservative use of
debt in the capital structure.
Equity Ratio:
The increase from 0.31 in 2022 to 0.36 in 2023 suggests a higher proportion of total
assets financed by equity. This can be viewed positively as it signifies a stronger equity
position, which can enhance the company's financial stability.
The solvency ratios for Tata Motors show positive signs, including a decreasing debt
burden and improving interest coverage. However, close attention should be paid to the
fluctuations in the interest coverage ratio and the reasons behind the negative values in
previous years.

Return on Equity (ROE): The positive ROE of 12.14% in 2023, compared to negative
values in the previous years, indicates a positive return for shareholders. However,
caution is needed due to the negative ROE in 2022 and 2021, which implies potential
challenges in generating returns for equity holders.
Tata Motors has shown positive trends in profitability ratios in 2023, but it's crucial to
investigate the reasons behind the negative values in the previous years to ensure
sustained improvement in financial performance.

Dividend Payout Ratio: The zero dividend payout ratio across all years indicates that
the company has not distributed any earnings as dividends. This aligns with the 100%
retention of earnings mentioned earlier.
While the positive EPS, book value per share, and consistent retention of earnings are
positive signals, the negative P/E ratios in previous years might raise concerns for some
investors. Further analysis is recommended to understand the underlying factors
contributing to these ratios and the overall investment proposition of Tata Motors.
