Athersys Management Efficiency

The company has return on total asset (ROA) of (1.0409) % which means that it has lost $1.0409 on every $100 spent on assets. This is way below average. Similarly, it shows a return on stockholder's equity (ROE) of (12.7602) %, meaning that it created substantial loss on money invested by shareholders. Athersys' management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Athersys manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
The company currently holds 9.43 M in liabilities. Athersys has a current ratio of 0.53, indicating that it has a negative working capital and may not be able to pay financial obligations when due. Debt can assist Athersys until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Athersys' 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 Athersys sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Athersys to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Athersys' use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.

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