ONEOK Trading Alerts and Improvement Suggestions

The company has 21.76 B in debt with debt to equity (D/E) ratio of 2.27, meaning that the company heavily relies on borrowing funds for operations. ONEOK Inc has a current ratio of 0.81, suggesting that it has not enough short term capital to pay financial commitments when the payables are due. Debt can assist ONEOK until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, ONEOK'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 ONEOK Inc sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for ONEOK to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about ONEOK's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.

ONEOK 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 ONEOK or Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels 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 ONEOK's price will be affected by overall stock 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 ONEOK stock'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.

ONEOK Implied Volatility

On the other hand, the low implied volatility suggests that ONEOK stock will not fluctuate a lot when ONEOK's options are near their expiration.

Investors use various methods to calculate intrinsic value and buy a stock when its market value falls below its intrinsic value.
