What does a latest Mitcham Industries volatility dip mean for shareholders?

It looks as if Mitcham Industries may not recover as fast as we have hopped for as its price went down 0.85% today. The company current daily volatility is 3.49 percent, with a beta of -1.07 and an alpha of 0.27 over DOW. As some shareholders are moving away from the latest market volatility surge, we are going to digest Mitcham Industries based on how it reacts to economic swings. We will evaluate why we are still optimistic in anticipation of a recovery.

This firm conducts business under Technology sector and is part of Scientific & Technical Instruments industry.
Investing in Mind Technology, just like investing in any other equity instrument, is characterized by a strong risk-return correlation. High risks mean high returns and low risk means lower expected returns. Risk management is the act of identifying and assessing the potential risk and developing strategies to minimize these risks and earn maximum possible profits while holding Mind Technology along with other instruments in the same portfolio. Using conventional technical analysis and fundamental analysis to select individual securities into a portfolio complements risk management and adds value to overall investors' investing strategies.
Sophisticated investors, who have witnessed many market ups and downs, anticipate that the market will even out over time. This tendency of Mind Technology's price to converge to an average value over time is called mean reversion. However, historically, high market prices usually discourage investors that believe in mean reversion to invest, while low prices are viewed as an opportunity to buy.

Your research has to be compared to or analyzed against Mind Technology's peers to derive any actionable benefits.

How important is Mind Technology's Liquidity

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

Mitcham Industries is projected to stay under $2.39 in May

Jensen alpha is down to 0.27. It may indicate a possible volatility dip. Mitcham Industries currently demonstrates below-average downside deviation. It has Information Ratio of 0.0 and Jensen Alpha of 0.27. However, we advise investors to further question Mitcham Industries expected returns to ensure all indicators are consistent with the current outlook about its relatively low value at risk. Understanding different market volatility trends often help investors to time the market. Properly using volatility indicators enable traders to measure Mitcham Industries' stock risk against market volatility during both bullying and bearish trends. The higher level of volatility that comes with bear markets can directly impact Mitcham Industries' 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.

The Bottom Line

Although few other entities in the scientific & technical instruments industry are either recovering or due for a correction, Mitcham may not be as strong as the others in terms of longer-term growth potentials. While some shareholders may not share our view we believe it may be a good time to sell Mitcham as the risk-reward trade off is not appealing enough to hold a position. Please use our equity advice module to run different scenarios to ensure your current risk level and investment horizon are fully reflective of your current investing preferences in regards to Mitcham Industries.
