Similarly, it shows a return on equity (ROE) of (0.1986) %, meaning that it generated substantial loss on money invested by shareholders. Canfor's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Canfor manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities. As of the 30th of November 2024, Return On Tangible Assets is likely to grow to -0.06. In addition to that, Return On Capital Employed is likely to grow to -0.1. At this time, Canfor's Non Currrent Assets Other are very stable compared to the past year.

Canfor has accumulated 399.3 M in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 0.35, which is about average as compared to similar companies. Canfor has a current ratio of 2.03, suggesting that it is liquid and has the ability to pay its financial obligations in time and when they become due. Debt can assist Canfor until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Canfor'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 Canfor sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Canfor to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Canfor's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.

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 Canfor moves, either up or down, the other security will move in the same direction. Alternatively, perfect negative correlation means that if Canfor 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.
