Air Canada Management Efficiency

The company has return on total asset (ROA) of 0.0482 % which means that it generated a profit of $0.0482 on every $100 spent on assets. This is way below average. Similarly, it shows a return on equity (ROE) of (4.1787) %, meaning that it generated substantial loss on money invested by shareholders. Air Canada's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Air Canada manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities. At this time, Air Canada's Return On Assets are very stable compared to the past year. As of the 28th of March 2024, Return On Equity is likely to grow to 3.00, though Return On Capital Employed is likely to grow to (0.19). At this time, Air Canada's Other Current Assets are very stable compared to the past year. As of the 28th of March 2024, Fixed Asset Turnover is likely to grow to 2.23, while Total Assets are likely to drop about 17 B.
The company has accumulated 359 M in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 6.7, indicating the company may have difficulties to generate enough cash to satisfy its financial obligations. Air Canada has a current ratio of 1.13, suggesting that it is in a questionable position to pay out its financial obligations in time and when they become due. Debt can assist Air Canada until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Air Canada's shareholders could walk away with nothing if the company can't fulfill its legal obligations to repay debt. However, a more frequent occurrence is when companies like Air Canada sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Air to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Air Canada's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.

The ability to find closely correlated positions to Air Canada could be a great tool in your tax-loss harvesting strategies, allowing investors a quick way to find a similar-enough asset to replace Air Canada when you sell it. If you don't do this, your portfolio allocation will be skewed against your target asset allocation. So, investors can't just sell and buy back Air Canada - that would be a violation of the tax code under the "wash sale" rule, and this is why you need to find a similar enough asset and use the proceeds from selling Air Canada to buy it.
The correlation of Air Canada is a statistical measure of how it moves in relation to other instruments. This measure is expressed in what is known as the correlation coefficient, which ranges between -1 and +1. A perfect positive correlation (i.e., a correlation coefficient of +1) implies that as Air Canada moves, either up or down, the other security will move in the same direction. Alternatively, perfect negative correlation means that if Air Canada moves in either direction, the perfectly negatively correlated security will move in the opposite direction. If the correlation is 0, the equities are not correlated; they are entirely random. A correlation greater than 0.8 is generally described as strong, whereas a correlation less than 0.5 is generally considered weak.
Correlation analysis and pair trading evaluation for Air Canada can also be used as hedging techniques within a particular sector or industry or even over random equities to generate a better risk-adjusted return on your portfolios.
