Autocanada's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Autocanada manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities. As of the 26th of November 2024, Return On Tangible Assets is likely to grow to 0.02. Also, Return On Capital Employed is likely to grow to 0.15.

Autocanada has accumulated 2.23 B in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 4.73, indicating the company may have difficulties to generate enough cash to satisfy its financial obligations. Autocanada has a current ratio of 0.95, indicating that it has a negative working capital and may not be able to pay financial obligations in time and when they become due. Debt can assist Autocanada until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Autocanada'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 Autocanada sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Autocanada to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Autocanada's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.

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 Autocanada - 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 Autocanada to buy it.

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 Autocanada moves, either up or down, the other security will move in the same direction. Alternatively, perfect negative correlation means that if Autocanada 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.
