Citizens Trading Alerts and Improvement Suggestions

Citizens generated a negative expected return over the last 90 days
The company has 9.07 M in debt with debt to equity (D/E) ratio of 0.03, which may show that the company is not taking advantage of profits from borrowing. Citizens has a current ratio of 0.58, suggesting that it has not enough short term capital to pay financial commitments when the payables are due. Debt can assist Citizens until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Citizens' 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 Citizens sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Citizens to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Citizens' use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.

Citizens 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 Citizens or Insurance 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 Citizens' 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 Citizens 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.

The higher level of volatility that comes with bear markets can directly impact Citizens' 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 financial instruments as prices fall.

The market value of Citizens is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of Citizens that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of Citizens' value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is Citizens' 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 Citizens' market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect Citizens' 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 Citizens' value and its price as these two are different measures arrived at by different means. Investors typically determine if Citizens is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections. However, Citizens' 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.
