Intact Financial Management Efficiency

The company has return on total asset (ROA) of 0.0332 % which means that it generated a profit of $0.0332 on every $100 spent on assets. This is way below average. Similarly, it shows a return on equity (ROE) of 0.1334 %, meaning that it generated $0.1334 on every $100 dollars invested by stockholders. Intact Financial's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Intact Financial manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
Intact Financial has accumulated 148 M in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 0.27, which may suggest the company is not taking enough advantage from borrowing. Intact Financial has a current ratio of 0.31, indicating that it has a negative working capital and may not be able to pay financial obligations in time and when they become due. Debt can assist Intact Financial until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Intact Financial'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 Intact Financial sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Intact to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Intact Financial's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.

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