The company has a beta of -0.6471. Let's try to break down what Ion Geophysical's beta means in this case. As the market goes up, the company is expected to outperform it. However, if the market returns are negative, Ion Geophysical will likely underperform. The beta indicator helps investors understand whether Ion Geophysical moves in the same direction as the rest of the market, and how volatile (i.e., risky) it is compared to the market (i.e., selected benchmark). In other words, if Ion Geophysical deviates very little from the market, it does not add much risk to the portfolio, but it also doesn't increase the expected returns.

How important is ION Geophysical's Liquidity

ION Geophysical financial leverage refers to using borrowed capital as a funding source to finance ION Geophysical ongoing operations. It is usually used to expand the firm's asset base and generate returns on borrowed capital. ION Geophysical financial leverage is typically calculated by taking the company's all interest-bearing debt and dividing it by total capital. So the higher the debt-to-capital ratio (i.e., financial leverage), the riskier the company. Financial leverage can amplify the potential profits to ION Geophysical's owners, but it also increases the potential losses and risk of financial distress, including bankruptcy, if the firm cannot cover its debt costs. The degree of ION Geophysical's financial leverage can be measured in several ways, including by ratios such as the debt-to-equity ratio (total debt / total equity), equity multiplier (total assets / total equity), or the debt ratio (total debt / total assets).
