Bird Construction has accumulated 151.36 M in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 1.52, which is about average as compared to similar companies. Bird Construction has a current ratio of 1.1, suggesting that it is in a questionable position to pay out its financial obligations in time and when they become due. Debt can assist Bird Construction until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Bird Construction'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 Bird Construction sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Bird to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Bird Construction's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.

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