Electronics For Management Efficiency

The company has return on total asset (ROA) of (0.0775) % which means that it has lost $0.0775 on every $100 spent on assets. This is way below average. Similarly, it shows a return on stockholder's equity (ROE) of (0.1521) %, meaning that it created substantial loss on money invested by shareholders. Electronics For's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Electronics For manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
The company currently holds 494.02 M in liabilities with Debt to Equity (D/E) ratio of 68.8, indicating the company may have difficulties to generate enough cash to satisfy its financial obligations. Electronics For Imaging has a current ratio of 1.27, suggesting that it is not liquid enough and may have problems paying out its financial obligations when due. Debt can assist Electronics For until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Electronics For'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 Electronics For Imaging sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Electronics to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Electronics For's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.

Electronics Stock Performance Indicators

The ability to make a profit is the ultimate goal of any investor. But to identify the right stock is not an easy task. Is Electronics For a good investment? Although profit is still the single most important financial element of any organization, multiple performance indicators can help investors identify the equity that they will appreciate over time.
Some investors attempt to determine whether the market's mood is bullish or bearish by monitoring changes in market sentiment. Unlike more traditional methods such as technical analysis, investor sentiment usually refers to the aggregate attitude towards Electronics For in the overall investment community. So, suppose investors can accurately measure the market's sentiment. In that case, they can use it for their benefit. For example, some tools to gauge market sentiment could be utilized using contrarian indexes, Electronics For's short interest history, or implied volatility extrapolated from Electronics For options trading.

Pair Trading with Electronics For

One of the main advantages of trading using pair correlations is that every trade hedges away some risk. Because there are two separate transactions required, even if Electronics For position performs unexpectedly, the other equity can make up some of the losses. Pair trading also minimizes risk from directional movements in the market. For example, if an entire industry or sector drops because of unexpected headlines, the short position in Electronics For will appreciate offsetting losses from the drop in the long position's value.
The ability to find closely correlated positions to Harley Davidson could be a great tool in your tax-loss harvesting strategies, allowing investors a quick way to find a similar-enough asset to replace Harley Davidson 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 Harley Davidson - 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 Harley Davidson to buy it.
The correlation of Harley Davidson 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 Harley Davidson moves, either up or down, the other security will move in the same direction. Alternatively, perfect negative correlation means that if Harley Davidson 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 Harley Davidson 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.
