How important is Verso's Liquidity

Verso financial leverage refers to using borrowed capital as a funding source to finance Verso ongoing operations. It is usually used to expand the firm's asset base and generate returns on borrowed capital. Verso 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 Verso'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 Verso'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). Please check the breakdown between Verso's total debt and its cash.

How is Verso allocating its cash?

A cash flow statement shows the amount of cash Verso is receiving and how much cash it distributes out in a given period. The Verso cash flow statement breaks down these inflows and outflows into different buckets, including operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities.

A Deeper Perspective

The latest price spike of Verso Corp may raise some interest from retail investors as it is trading at a share price of 26.60 on 146,100 in trading volume. The company directors and management may have good odds in positioning the company resources to exploit market volatility in March. The stock standard deviation of daily returns for 90 days investing horizon is currently 4.54. This high volatility is attributed to the latest market swings and not-so-good earnings reports for some of the Verso Corp partners.
