NRG Energy (NRG)

The company has Return on Asset of (0.0239) % which means that on every $100 spent on assets, it lost $0.0239. This is way below average. In the same way, it shows a return on shareholders' equity (ROE) of (0.06) %, meaning that it generated no profit with money invested by stockholders. NRG Energy's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well NRG Energy manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities. The NRG Energy's current Return On Capital Employed is estimated to increase to 0.02, while Return On Tangible Assets are forecasted to increase to (0.01). At this time, NRG Energy's Other Assets are most likely to increase significantly in the upcoming years. The NRG Energy's current Intangible Assets is estimated to increase to about 4.1 B, while Non Current Assets Total are projected to decrease to roughly 15.3 B. This firm currently falls under 'Large-Cap' category with a total capitalization of 15.14 B. Market capitalization usually refers to the total value of a company's stock within the entire market. To calculate NRG Energy's market, we take the total number of its shares issued and multiply it by NRG Energy'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. NRG Energy secures a last-minute Real Value of $60.49 per share. The latest price of the firm is $69.97. Our model forecasts the value of NRG Energy from inspecting the firm fundamentals such as profit margin of (0.01) %, and Return On Equity of -0.06 as well as reviewing its technical indicators and probability of bankruptcy. In general, most investors recommend locking in undervalued stocks and disposing overvalued stocks since, at some point future time, asset prices and their ongoing real values will merge together.

Electricite De France (ECIFY)

The entity has a beta of -0.1239. As returns on the market increase, Electricite's returns are expected to increase less than the market. However, during the bear market, the loss of holding Electricite is expected to be smaller as well. The beta indicator helps investors understand whether Electricite 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 Electricite 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 current market capitalization of 49.58 B. Market capitalization usually refers to the total value of a company's stock within the entire market. To calculate Electricite's market, we take the total number of its shares issued and multiply it by Electricite'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.

Edison International (EIX)

The company has Return on Asset of 0.0282 % which means that on every $100 spent on assets, it made $0.0282 of profit. This is way below average. In the same way, it shows a return on shareholders' equity (ROE) of 0.0675 %, implying that it generated $0.0675 on every 100 dollars invested. Edison International's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Edison International manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities. At this time, Edison International's Return On Tangible Assets are fairly stable compared to the past year. Return On Capital Employed is likely to rise to 0.06 in 2024, whereas Return On Equity is likely to drop 0.09 in 2024. At this time, Edison International's Non Currrent Assets Other are fairly stable compared to the past year. Other Current Assets is likely to rise to about 3.2 B in 2024, whereas Total Assets are likely to drop slightly above 49.1 B in 2024. This firm currently falls under 'Large-Cap' category with a total capitalization of 26.21 B. Market capitalization usually refers to the total value of a company's stock within the entire market.

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 fairly valued. Edison International shows a prevailing Real Value of $70.57 per share. The current price of the firm is $69.93. Our model computes the value of Edison International from reviewing the firm fundamentals such as Shares Outstanding of 384.68 M, profit margin of 0.07 %, and Current Valuation of 65.28 B as well as analyzing its technical indicators and probability of bankruptcy. In general, most investors advise acquiring undervalued instruments and dropping overvalued instruments since, at some point, asset prices and their ongoing real values will submerge.

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.

Macroaxis Gross Profit

Macroaxis Gross Profit growth is one of the most critical measures in evaluating the company. The Gross Profit growth rate is calculated simply by comparing Macroaxis previous period's values with its current period's values. Each time period you're measuring should be of equal lengths the increase or decrease, in a company's Gross Profit between two periods. Here we show Macroaxis Gross Profit growth over the last 10 years. Please check Macroaxis' gross profit and other fundamental indicators for more details.
