An naive question: what's the significance of the large spread? Is there anything I can read up on the topic?

EKS, a tad more of trading company, Noble Group, NOBGF, for me now. Company is doing well, according to the 1H results they show. thisisnoble.com ROE is now 17% on $.73/sh stated bv. 24% cagr in bv since company was listed in Singapore in 1997. I'm not sure about net debt/capitalization which is 51%. I've no context in which to judge if that's okay, high, or too high. Also a lot of debt is due withing two years. Company seems to imply its not a big issue.
