In the same way, it shows a return on shareholders' equity (ROE) of 0.3058 %, implying that it generated $0.3058 on every 100 dollars invested. Halliburton's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Halliburton manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities. Return On Tangible Assets is expected to rise to 0.13 this year. Return On Capital Employed is expected to rise to 0.22 this year. At this time, Halliburton's Fixed Asset Turnover is quite stable compared to the past year. Return On Assets is expected to rise to 0.11 this year, although the value of Non Current Assets Total will most likely fall to about 8.2 B. The firm currently falls under 'Large-Cap' category with a total capitalization of 34.07 B. Market capitalization usually refers to the total value of a company's stock within the entire market. To calculate Halliburton's market, we take the total number of its shares issued and multiply it by Halliburton's current market price. To manage market risk and economic uncertainty, many investors today build portfolios that are diversified across equities with different market capitalizations. However, as a general rule, conservative investors tend to hold large-cap stocks, and those looking for more risk prefer small-cap and mid-cap equities. At this time, the firm appears to be undervalued. Halliburton retains a regular Real Value of $46.31 per share. The prevalent price of the firm is $38.65. Our model calculates the value of Halliburton from evaluating the firm fundamentals such as Return On Equity of 0.31, return on asset of 0.11, and Current Valuation of 40.97 B as well as inspecting its technical indicators and probability of bankruptcy. In general, most investors encourage picking up undervalued assets and discarding overvalued assets since, at some point, asset prices and their ongoing real values will come together.

How important is Macroaxis's Liquidity

Macroaxis financial leverage refers to using borrowed capital as a funding source to finance Macroaxis ongoing operations. It is usually used to expand the firm's asset base and generate returns on borrowed capital. Macroaxis 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 Macroaxis' 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 Macroaxis' 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 Macroaxis's total debt and its cash.

Macroaxis Gross Profit

Macroaxis Gross Profit growth is one of the most critical measures in evaluating the company. The Gross Profit growth rate is calculated simply by comparing Macroaxis previous period's values with its current period's values. Each time period you're measuring should be of equal lengths the increase or decrease, in a company's Gross Profit between two periods. Here we show Macroaxis Gross Profit growth over the last 10 years. Please check Macroaxis' gross profit and other fundamental indicators for more details.
