How important is CerenceInc's Liquidity
CerenceInc
financial leverage refers to using borrowed capital as a funding source to finance CerenceInc ongoing operations. It is usually used to expand the firm's asset base and generate returns on borrowed capital. CerenceInc 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 CerenceInc's 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 CerenceInc's 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).

Closer look at Cerence Downside Variance
Cerence has current Downside Variance of 14.45. Downside Variance (or DV) is measured by target semi-variance and is termed downside volatility. It is expressed in percentages and therefore allows for rankings in the same way as variance. One way to view downside volatility is the annualized variance of returns below the target.
Downside Variance is the probability-weighted squared below-target returns. The squaring of the below-target returns has the effect of penalizing failures at an exponential rate. This is consistent with observations made on the behavior of individual decision-making under.
Downside Variance | = | SUM(RET DEV)2 N(ER) |
| = | 14.45 |
SUM | = | Summation notation |
RET DEV | = | Actual returns deviation over selected period |
N(ER) | = | Number of points with returns less than expected return for the period |
