North American Management Efficiency

The company has return on total asset (ROA) of 0.0824 % which means that it generated a profit of $0.0824 on every $100 spent on assets. This is way below average. Similarly, it shows a return on equity (ROE) of 0.1556 %, meaning that it generated $0.1556 on every $100 dollars invested by stockholders. North American's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well North American manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities. At this time, North American's Return On Tangible Assets are very stable compared to the past year. As of the 30th of November 2024, Return On Assets is likely to grow to 0.04, while Return On Capital Employed is likely to drop 0.07. At this time, North American's Asset Turnover is very stable compared to the past year.
North American Construction has accumulated 717.05 M in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 2.01, implying the company greatly relies on financing operations through barrowing. North American Const has a current ratio of 1.2, suggesting that it may not be capable to disburse its financial obligations in time and when they become due. Debt can assist North American until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, North American'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 North American Const sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for North to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about North American's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.

North 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 North American 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 North American

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