Charter Communications Trading Alerts and Improvement Suggestions

Charter Communications generated a negative expected return over the last 90 days
The company currently holds 97.78 B in liabilities with Debt to Equity (D/E) ratio of 7.88, indicating the company may have difficulties to generate enough cash to satisfy its financial obligations. Charter Communications has a current ratio of 0.31, indicating that it has a negative working capital and may not be able to pay financial obligations when due. Debt can assist Charter Communications until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Charter Communications' shareholders could walk away with nothing if the company can't fulfill its legal obligations to repay debt. However, a more frequent occurrence is when companies like Charter Communications sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Charter to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Charter Communications' use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.

Charter Communications Greeks

Most traded equities are subject to two types of risk - systematic (i.e., market) and unsystematic (i.e., nonmarket or company-specific) risk. Unsystematic risk is the risk that events specific to Charter Communications or Media sector will adversely affect the stock's price. This type of risk can be diversified away by owning several different stocks in different industries whose stock prices have shown a small correlation to each other. On the other hand, systematic risk is the risk that Charter Communications' price will be affected by overall stock market movements and cannot be diversified away. So, no matter how many positions you have, you cannot eliminate market risk. However, you can measure a Charter stock's historical response to market movements and buy it if you are comfortable with its volatility direction. Beta and standard deviation are two commonly used measures to help you make the right decision.

Properly using volatility indicators enable traders to measure Charter Communications' stock risk against market volatility during both bullish and bearish trends. The higher level of volatility that comes with bear markets can directly impact Charter Communications' stock price while adding stress to investors as they watch their shares' value plummet.

Charter Communications Implied Volatility

However, it does not forecast the overall direction of its price. In a nutshell, if Charter Communications' implied volatility is high, the market thinks the stock has potential for high price swings in either direction. On the other hand, the low implied volatility suggests that Charter Communications stock will not fluctuate a lot when Charter Communications' options are near their expiration.

The market value of Charter Communications is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of Charter that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of Charter Communications' value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is Charter Communications' true underlying value. Investors use various methods to calculate intrinsic value and buy a stock when its market value falls below its intrinsic value. Because Charter Communications' market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect Charter Communications' underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.
Please note, there is a significant difference between Charter Communications' value and its price as these two are different measures arrived at by different means. Investors typically determine if Charter Communications is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections. However, Charter Communications' price is the amount at which it trades on the open market and represents the number that a seller and buyer find agreeable to each party.
