It measures the total debt position of Bitfarms, including all of Bitfarms's outstanding debt obligations, and compares it with the equity. In simple terms, the high financial leverage means the cost of production, together with running the business day-to-day, is high, whereas, lower financial leverage implies lower fixed cost investment in the business and generally considered by investors to be a good sign. So if creditors own a majority of Bitfarms assets, the company is considered highly leveraged.

How important is Bitfarms's Liquidity

Bitfarms financial leverage refers to using borrowed capital as a funding source to finance Bitfarms ongoing operations. It is usually used to expand the firm's asset base and generate returns on borrowed capital. Bitfarms financial leverage is typically calculated by taking the company's all interest-bearing debt and dividing it by total capital. So the higher the debt-to-capital ratio (i.e., financial leverage), the riskier the company. Financial leverage can amplify the potential profits to Bitfarms' owners, but it also increases the potential losses and risk of financial distress, including bankruptcy, if the firm cannot cover its debt costs. The degree of Bitfarms' financial leverage can be measured in several ways, including by ratios such as the debt-to-equity ratio (total debt / total equity), equity multiplier (total assets / total equity), or the debt ratio (total debt / total assets). Please check the breakdown between Bitfarms's total debt and its cash.

Our take on today Bitfarms surge

Variance is down to 43.44. It may indicate a possible volatility dip. Bitfarms is displaying above-average volatility over the selected time horizon. Investors should scrutinize Bitfarms independently to ensure intended market timing strategies are aligned with expectations about Bitfarms volatility. Understanding different market volatility trends often help investors to time the market. Properly using volatility indicators enable traders to measure Bitfarms' stock risk against market volatility during both bullying and bearish trends. The higher level of volatility that comes with bear markets can directly impact Bitfarms' stock price while adding stress to investors as they watch their shares' value plummet. This usually forces investors to rebalance their portfolios by buying different stocks as prices fall.

Bitfarms Implied Volatility

Bitfarms' implied volatility exposes the market's sentiment of Bitfarms stock's possible movements over time. However, it does not forecast the overall direction of its price. In a nutshell, if Bitfarms' implied volatility is high, the market thinks the stock has potential for high price swings in either direction. On the other hand, the low implied volatility suggests that Bitfarms stock will not fluctuate a lot when Bitfarms' options are near their expiration.

The Bottom Line

Although many of the other players in the capital markets industry are either recovering or due for a correction, Bitfarms may not be as strong as the others in terms of longer-term growth potentials. To conclude, as of the 16th of May 2022, our actual 90 days buy-hold-sell recommendation on the firm is Cautious Hold. We believe Bitfarms is currently undervalued with low probability of distress for the next two years.
