Wajax Management Efficiency

The company has return on total asset (ROA) of 0.0456 % which means that it generated a profit of $0.0456 on every $100 spent on assets. This is way below average. Similarly, it shows a return on equity (ROE) of 0.1047 %, meaning that it generated $0.1047 on every $100 dollars invested by stockholders. Wajax's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Wajax manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities. As of the 27th of November 2024, Return On Capital Employed is likely to grow to 0.25, while Return On Tangible Assets are likely to drop 0.05. At this time, Wajax's Asset Turnover is very stable compared to the past year.
Wajax has accumulated 500.87 M in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 1.27, which is about average as compared to similar companies. Wajax has a current ratio of 2.32, suggesting that it is liquid and has the ability to pay its financial obligations in time and when they become due. Debt can assist Wajax until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Wajax's 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 Wajax sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Wajax to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Wajax's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.

The ability to find closely correlated positions to Wajax could be a great tool in your tax-loss harvesting strategies, allowing investors a quick way to find a similar-enough asset to replace Wajax when you sell it. If you don't do this, your portfolio allocation will be skewed against your target asset allocation. So, investors can't just sell and buy back Wajax - that would be a violation of the tax code under the "wash sale" rule, and this is why you need to find a similar enough asset and use the proceeds from selling Wajax to buy it.
The correlation of Wajax is a statistical measure of how it moves in relation to other instruments. This measure is expressed in what is known as the correlation coefficient, which ranges between -1 and +1. A perfect positive correlation (i.e., a correlation coefficient of +1) implies that as Wajax moves, either up or down, the other security will move in the same direction. Alternatively, perfect negative correlation means that if Wajax moves in either direction, the perfectly negatively correlated security will move in the opposite direction. If the correlation is 0, the equities are not correlated; they are entirely random. A correlation greater than 0.8 is generally described as strong, whereas a correlation less than 0.5 is generally considered weak.
Correlation analysis and pair trading evaluation for Wajax can also be used as hedging techniques within a particular sector or industry or even over random equities to generate a better risk-adjusted return on your portfolios.
