From a volatility perspective, IDEX Corporation's stock presents an interesting opportunity for investors. The stock's Total Risk Alpha of -0.23 indicates a potential for higher returns, albeit with a higher risk. However, the stock's Variance of 1.25 suggests a relatively stable price movement, which could be appealing for risk-averse investors. Despite the negative Sortino Ratio of -0.02, the potential upside of 2.78 could make IDEX Corporation an attractive investment for those willing to tolerate some level of risk.

Main Points

IDEX Corporation holds approximately $430.2 million in cash, with a positive cash flow from operations of $683 million. This results in a cash-per-share (CPS) ratio of 9.63.
