DS Smith Trading Alerts and Improvement Suggestions
| The company has accumulated 1.39 B in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 0.55, which is about average as compared to similar companies. DS Smith PLC has a current ratio of 0.85, indicating that it has a negative working capital and may not be able to pay financial obligations in time and when they become due. Debt can assist DS Smith until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, DS Smith'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 DS Smith PLC sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for DITHF to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about DS Smith's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity. | |

DS Smith Greeks
Most traded equities are subject to two types of risk - systematic (i.e., market) and unsystematic (i.e., nonmarket or company-specific) risk. Unsystematic risk is the risk that events specific to DS Smith or Consumer Cyclical sector will adversely affect the stock's price. This type of risk can be diversified away by owning several different stocks in different industries whose stock prices have shown a small correlation to each other. On the other hand, systematic risk is the risk that DS Smith's price will be affected by overall pink sheet market movements and cannot be diversified away. So, no matter how many positions you have, you cannot eliminate market risk. However, you can measure a DITHF pink sheet's historical response to market movements and buy it if you are comfortable with its volatility direction. Beta and standard deviation are two commonly used measures to help you make the right decision.
