NFI Management Efficiency

The company has return on total asset (ROA) of 0.0246 % which means that it generated a profit of $0.0246 on every $100 spent on assets. This is way below average. NFI's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well NFI manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
NFI Group has accumulated 19.61 M in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 2.1, implying the company greatly relies on financing operations through barrowing. NFI Group has a current ratio of 1.89, which is within standard range for the sector. Debt can assist NFI until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, NFI'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 NFI Group sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for NFI to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about NFI's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.

NFI 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 NFI 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 NFI

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 NFI position performs unexpectedly, the other equity can make up some of the losses.

For example, if an entire industry or sector drops because of unexpected headlines, the short position in NFI will appreciate offsetting losses from the drop in the long position's value.

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