Ferrum's capital structure shows a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.14, indicating a relatively low reliance on debt financing. The company's liquidity position is reflected in a current ratio of 3.81, suggesting strong short-term liquidity.

Profitability metrics show a significant decline in performance, with a net loss and negative returns on both equity and assets. The company's gross profit of 38,426,597,730 ARS is a positive indicator, but it is not sufficient to offset the operating and net losses.
