This firm has a beta of 0.3312. Let's try to break down what Iridex's beta means in this case. Iridex Cp returns are very sensitive to returns on the market. As the market goes up or down, Iridex Cp is expected to follow. The beta indicator helps investors understand whether Iridex Cp moves in the same direction as the rest of the market, and how volatile (i.e., risky) it is compared to the market (i.e., selected benchmark). In other words, if Iridex deviates very little from the market, it does not add much risk to the portfolio, but it also doesn't increase the expected returns.

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