IA Financial Management Efficiency

As of the 26th of November 2024, Return On Tangible Assets is likely to grow to 0.01. Also, Return On Capital Employed is likely to grow to 0.09. At this time, IA Financial's Intangibles To Total Assets are very stable compared to the past year. As of the 26th of November 2024, Debt To Assets is likely to grow to 0.02, while Other Current Assets are likely to drop about 3.3 B. IA Financial's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well IA Financial manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
iA Financial has accumulated 1.88 B in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 0.23, which may suggest the company is not taking enough advantage from borrowing. iA Financial has a current ratio of 5.7, suggesting that it is liquid and has the ability to pay its financial obligations in time and when they become due. Debt can assist IA Financial until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, IA Financial'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 iA Financial sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for IAG to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about IA Financial's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.

IAG 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 IA Financial 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.

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