How important is Omnicom's Liquidity

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

Correlation Between Omnicom and Townsquare Media

In general, Stock analysis is a method for investors and traders to make individual buying and selling decisions. Stock correlation analysis is also essential because it can help investors realize that they may not be as diversified as they think. Risk management strategies are usually required to make sure all portfolios are properly aligned against their risk tolerance level. You can consider holding Omnicom together with similar or unrelated positions with a negative correlation. For example, you can also add Townsquare Media to your portfolio. If Townsquare Media is not perfectly correlated to Omnicom it will diversify some of the market risks out of the positively correlated stocks in your portfolio. However, the disadvantage of this sort of hedging is that it can potentially affect your investment returns throughout market cycles. When Omnicom, for example, performs excellent and delivers stable returns, the negatively correlated position you locked in as a hedge may drag your returns down.
Are you currently holding both Omnicom and Townsquare Media in your portfolio? Please note if you are using this as a pair-trade strategy between Omnicom and Townsquare Media, watch out for correlation discrepancy over time. Relying on the historical price correlations and assuming that it will not change may lead to short-term losses. Please check pair correlation details between OMC and TSQ for more information.
