English term

Asset-heavy companies

English to Spanish Bus/Financial Finance (general)
Asset-heavy companies can serve as effective inflation hedges, but they also entail a downside. They must pursue substantial reinvestment to maintain their productive capacity. As such, they can actually fall victim to inflation. That’s because the added cost of reinvestment during a period of rising prices offsets the advantage of being able to pass along higher sales prices.

Asset-Light Vs. Asset-Heavy

This brings us to two new terms: asset-light and asset-heavy. These definitions are used to define different industries. In our example above, since it requires more assets to realize a profit, the car industry is considered asset-heavy. The insurance industry is asset-light.

Other asset-heavy industries include: manufacturing, railroads, and telecommunications companies. Asset-light could be advertising firms, software companies, and websites/blogs. The determining factor on if a company is asset-heavy or asset-light is the ROA, with asset-heavy industries weighing in above 20% (or 20 cents to each dollar of profit) and asset-light companies rolling in at below 5% (or 5 cents to each dollar).

¿Que requieren las empresas de capital intensivo para mejorar la Gestión Integral de Activos?

¿Qué significa ser intensiva en uso de capital?

Formalmente se puede definir como un proceso de negocio o una industria que requiere más capital y otros recursos financieros que otros factores de producción.

Algunas industrias, que son de uso intensivo de capital incluyen la producción y refinación de petróleo, telecomunicaciones, energía, transportes, minería y líneas aéreas.

Todas las industrias enumeradas arriba tienen, desde sus inicios, un gran compromiso financiero. Una vez que las inversiones iniciales se hacen, el adecuado (normado) uso de sus activos puede haber grandes economías de escala con respecto a los gastos corrientes y de crecimiento de las ventas. La gran cantidad de capital que ellas requieren se transforma en una barrera de entrada para la competencia lo que, quizás, influye en no preocuparse de crear sistema de gestión que permitan mejorar continuamente.
