GVC Stock  CAD 0.16  0.01  6.67%   
This module uses fundamental data of Glacier Media to approximate the value of its Beneish M Score. Glacier Media M Score tells investors if the company management is likely to be manipulating earnings. The score is calculated using eight financial indicators that are adjusted by a specific multiplier. Please note, the M Score is a probabilistic model and cannot detect companies that manipulate their earnings with 100% accuracy. Check out Risk vs Return Analysis to better understand how to build diversified portfolios, which includes a position in Glacier Media. Also, note that the market value of any company could be closely tied with the direction of predictive economic indicators such as signals in board of governors.
  
As of the 6th of January 2025, Short and Long Term Debt is likely to grow to about 10.1 M, while Net Debt is likely to drop about 9 M. At this time, Glacier Media's Tangible Book Value Per Share is very stable compared to the past year.
At this time, Glacier Media's M Score is inapplicable. The earnings manipulation may begin if Glacier Media's top management creates an artificial sense of financial success, forcing the stock price to be traded at a high price-earnings multiple than it should be. In general, excessive earnings management by Glacier Media executives may lead to removing some of the operating profits from subsequent periods to inflate earnings in the following periods. This way, the manipulation of Glacier Media's earnings can lead to misrepresentations of actual financial condition, taking the otherwise loyal stakeholders on to the path of questionable ethical practices and plain fraud.

Glacier Media Beneish M-Score Indicator Trends

The cure to earnings manipulation is the transparency of financial reporting. It will typically remove the temptation of the top executives to inflate earnings (i.e., to promote the idea of 'winning at any cost'). Because a healthy internal audit department can enhance transparency, the board should promote the auditors' access to all the record-keeping systems across the enterprise. For example, if Glacier Media's auditors report directly to the board (not management), the managers will be reluctant to manipulate simply due to the fear of punishment. On the other hand, the auditors will be free to investigate the ledgers properly because they know that the board has their back.

About Glacier Media Beneish M Score

M-Score is one of many grading techniques for value stocks. It was developed by Professor M. Daniel Beneish of the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University and published in 1999 under the paper titled The Detection of Earnings Manipulation. The Beneish score is a multi-factor model that utilizes financial identifiers to compile eight variables used to classify whether a company has manipulated its reported earnings. The variables are built from the officially filed financial statements to create a final score call 'M Score.' The score helps to identify companies that are likely to manipulate their profits if they show deteriorating gross margins, operating expenses, and leverage against growing revenue.

The correlation of Glacier Media 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 Glacier Media moves, either up or down, the other security will move in the same direction. Alternatively, perfect negative correlation means that if Glacier Media moves in either direction, the perfectly negatively correlated security will move in the opposite direction.

A correlation greater than 0.8 is generally described as strong, whereas a correlation less than 0.5 is generally considered weak.
