Gentherm financial leverage ratio helps determine the effect of debt on the overall profitability of the company. It measures the total debt position of Gentherm, including all of Gentherm's outstanding debt obligations, and compares it with the equity. In simple terms, the high financial leverage means the cost of production, together with running the business day-to-day, is high, whereas, lower financial leverage implies lower fixed cost investment in the business and generally considered by investors to be a good sign. So if creditors own a majority of Gentherm assets, the company is considered highly leveraged. Understanding the composition and structure of overall Gentherm debt and outstanding corporate bonds gives a good idea of how risky the capital structure of a business is and if it is worth investing in it.

How important is Gentherm's Liquidity

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

Possible March turnaround of Gentherm?

New semi deviation is at 1.4. Gentherm has relatively low volatility with skewness of 0.24 and kurtosis of -0.27. However, we advise all investors to independently investigate Gentherm to ensure all accessible information is consistent with the expectations about its upside potential and future expected returns. Understanding different market volatility trends often help investors to time the market. Properly using volatility indicators enable traders to measure Gentherm's stock risk against market volatility during both bullying and bearish trends. The higher level of volatility that comes with bear markets can directly impact Gentherm's 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.

Our Takeaway on Gentherm Investment

While some other firms under the auto parts industry are still a bit expensive, Gentherm may offer a potential longer-term growth to stakeholders. With a less-than optimistic outlook for your 30 days horizon, it may be a good time to quit some or all of your Gentherm holdings as it seems the potential growth was already fully factored into the current price.
