This module uses fundamental data of John Hancock to approximate the value of its Beneish M Score.

At this time, John Hancock's M Score is inapplicable. The earnings manipulation may begin if John Hancock's top management creates an artificial sense of financial success, forcing the stock price to be traded at a high price-earnings multiple than it should be. In general, excessive earnings management by John Hancock executives may lead to removing some of the operating profits from subsequent periods to inflate earnings in the following periods. This way, the manipulation of John Hancock's earnings can lead to misrepresentations of actual financial condition, taking the otherwise loyal stakeholders on to the path of questionable ethical practices and plain fraud.

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 John Hancock moves, either up or down, the other security will move in the same direction. Alternatively, perfect negative correlation means that if John Hancock Financial 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.
