Similarly, it shows a return on equity (ROE) of (0.0913) %, meaning that it generated substantial loss on money invested by shareholders. Western Energy's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Western Energy manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities. As of the 5th of March 2026, Return On Capital Employed is likely to grow to 0.02, while Return On Tangible Assets are likely to drop (0.07). At this time, Western Energy's Total Assets are very stable compared to the past year.

Western Energy Services has accumulated 95.02 M in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 0.43, which is about average as compared to similar companies. Western Energy Services has a current ratio of 1.58, which is within standard range for the sector. Debt can assist Western Energy until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Western Energy'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 Energy Services 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 Energy's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.

The ability to find closely correlated positions to Western Energy 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 Energy 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 Energy - 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 Energy Services to buy it.
The correlation of Western Energy 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 Energy moves, either up or down, the other security will move in the same direction. Alternatively, perfect negative correlation means that if Western Energy Services 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 Energy 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.
