Second Sight Management Efficiency

The company has return on total asset (ROA) of (10.74) % which means that it has lost $10.74 on every $100 spent on assets. This is way below average. Similarly, it shows a return on stockholder's equity (ROE) of (19.02) %, meaning that it created substantial loss on money invested by shareholders. Second Sight's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Second Sight manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
The company currently holds 199 K in liabilities with Debt to Equity (D/E) ratio of 0.0, which may suggest the company is not taking enough advantage from borrowing. Second Sight Medical has a current ratio of 24.75, suggesting that it is liquid enough and is able to pay its financial obligations when due. Debt can assist Second Sight until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Second Sight'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 Second Sight Medical sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Second to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Second Sight's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.

The ability to find closely correlated positions to Second Sight could be a great tool in your tax-loss harvesting strategies, allowing investors a quick way to find a similar-enough asset to replace Second Sight when you sell it. If you don't do this, your portfolio allocation will be skewed against your target asset allocation.

The correlation of Second Sight 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 Second Sight moves, either up or down, the other security will move in the same direction. Alternatively, perfect negative correlation means that if Second Sight Medical 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.
