BCE Management Efficiency

The company has return on total asset (ROA) of 0.0488 % which means that it generated a profit of $0.0488 on every $100 spent on assets. This is way below average. Similarly, it shows a return on equity (ROE) of 0.0155 %, meaning that it generated $0.0155 on every $100 dollars invested by stockholders. BCE's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well BCE manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities. At this time, BCE's Return On Tangible Assets are very stable compared to the past year. As of the 25th of November 2024, Return On Assets is likely to grow to 0.04, while Return On Capital Employed is likely to drop 0.09. At this time, BCE's Asset Turnover is very stable compared to the past year.
BCE Inc has accumulated 36.18 B in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 1.28, which is about average as compared to similar companies. BCE Inc has a current ratio of 0.64, 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 BCE until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, BCE'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 BCE Inc sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for BCE to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about BCE's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.

BCE Stock Performance Indicators

The ability to make a profit is the ultimate goal of any investor. But to identify the right stock is not an easy task. Is BCE a good investment? Although profit is still the single most important financial element of any organization, multiple performance indicators can help investors identify the equity that they will appreciate over time.

Pair Trading with BCE

One of the main advantages of trading using pair correlations is that every trade hedges away some risk. Because there are two separate transactions required, even if BCE position performs unexpectedly, the other equity can make up some of the losses. Pair trading also minimizes risk from directional movements in the market. For example, if an entire industry or sector drops because of unexpected headlines, the short position in BCE will appreciate offsetting losses from the drop in the long position's value.

The ability to find closely correlated positions to BCE could be a great tool in your tax-loss harvesting strategies, allowing investors a quick way to find a similar-enough asset to replace BCE 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 BCE - 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 BCE Inc to buy it.
The correlation of BCE 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 BCE moves, either up or down, the other security will move in the same direction. Alternatively, perfect negative correlation means that if BCE Inc 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 BCE 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.

Please note, there is a significant difference between BCE's value and its price as these two are different measures arrived at by different means. Investors typically determine if BCE is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections. However, BCE's 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.
