Hydro One Trading Alerts and Improvement Suggestions

Hydro One has high financial leverage indicating that it may have difficulties to generate enough cash to satisfy its financial obligations
Hydro One currently holds 17.73 B in liabilities with Debt to Equity (D/E) ratio of 130.0, indicating the company may have difficulties to generate enough cash to satisfy its financial obligations. Hydro One has a current ratio of 0.4, indicating that it has a negative working capital and may not be able to pay financial obligations when due. Debt can assist Hydro One until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Hydro One'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 Hydro One sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Hydro to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Hydro One's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.

Hydro One 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 Hydro One or Electric Utilities 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 Hydro One's 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 Hydro 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.
