3. Financial Metrics and Liquidity
Jumia’s debt-to-equity ratio stands at a conservative 0.35, but the negative P/E ratio of -8.94 highlights unprofitability. A current ratio of 1.20 suggests adequate liquidity, though an enterprise value to operating cash flow ratio of -7.75 points to cash flow headwinds.
