The WACC provides a measure of the company’s cost of financing, taking into account both the cost of debt and the cost of equity, weighted by their respective proportions in the company’s capital structure. It's an essential tool used by investors, analysts, and managers to assess whether a company is generating sufficient returns to cover its cost of capital and create value for its shareholders.
