The company has return on total asset (ROA) of (0.0428) % which means that it has lost $0.0428 on every $100 spent on assets. This is way below average. Similarly, it shows a return on equity (ROE) of (0.0829) %, meaning that it generated substantial loss on money invested by shareholders. Western Forest's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Western Forest manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities. As of the 27th of November 2024, Return On Tangible Assets is likely to grow to -0.08. In addition to that, Return On Capital Employed is likely to grow to -0.1. At this time, Western Forest's Other Current Assets are very stable compared to the past year. As of the 27th of November 2024, Intangibles To Total Assets is likely to grow to 0.17, while Total Assets are likely to drop about 829.1 M.
Western Forest Products has accumulated 104.6 M in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 0.3, which may suggest the company is not taking enough advantage from borrowing. Western Forest Products has a current ratio of 2.1, suggesting that it is liquid and has the ability to pay its financial obligations in time and when they become due. Debt can assist Western Forest until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Western Forest'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 Western Forest Products sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Western to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Western Forest's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.

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