The company has return on total asset (ROA) of 0.064 % which means that it generated a profit of $0.064 on every $100 spent on assets. This is way below average. Similarly, it shows a return on equity (ROE) of 0.1374 %, meaning that it generated $0.1374 on every $100 dollars invested by stockholders. Metro's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Metro manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities. At this time, Metro's Return On Capital Employed is very stable compared to the past year. As of the 25th of November 2024, Return On Assets is likely to grow to 0.1, while Return On Tangible Assets are likely to drop 0.11. At this time, Metro's Net Tangible Assets are very stable compared to the past year.

Metro Inc has accumulated 4.32 B in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 0.78, which is about average as compared to similar companies. Metro Inc has a current ratio of 1.32, which is within standard range for the sector. Debt can assist Metro until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Metro'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 Metro Inc sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Metro to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Metro's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.

Metro 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 Metro 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 Metro

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