Archer Daniels Midland (ADM)

The entity has a beta of -0.6468. As returns on the market increase, Archer Daniels' returns are expected to increase less than the market. However, during the bear market, the loss of holding Archer Daniels is expected to be smaller as well. The beta indicator helps investors understand whether Archer Daniels 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 Archer deviates very little from the market, it does not add much risk to the portfolio, but it also doesn't increase the expected returns. This firm currently falls under 'Large-Cap' category with a total capitalization of 30.24 B. Market capitalization usually refers to the total value of a company's stock within the entire market. To calculate Archer Daniels's market, we take the total number of its shares issued and multiply it by Archer Daniels's current market price. To manage market risk and economic uncertainty, many investors today build portfolios that are diversified across equities with different market capitalizations. However, as a general rule, conservative investors tend to hold large-cap stocks, and those looking for more risk prefer small-cap and mid-cap equities. At this time, the firm appears to be overvalued. Archer Daniels Midland shows a prevailing Real Value of $49.48 per share. The current price of the firm is $60.42. Our model approximates the value of Archer Daniels Midland from analyzing the firm fundamentals such as return on equity of 0.14, and Profit Margin of 0.04 % as well as examining its technical indicators and probability of bankruptcy. In general, most investors favor obtaining undervalued instruments and abandoning overvalued instruments since, at some point, asset prices and their ongoing real values will blend.

How important is Macroaxis's Liquidity

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