Carriage Services (CSV)

The company has Return on Asset of 0.0414 % which means that on every $100 spent on assets, it made $0.0414 of profit. This is way below average. In the same way, it shows a return on shareholders' equity (ROE) of 0.1931 %, implying that it generated $0.1931 on every 100 dollars invested. Carriage Services' management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Carriage Services manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities. At this time, Carriage Services' Return On Tangible Assets are fairly stable compared to the past year. Return On Assets is likely to climb to 0.03 in 2024, whereas Return On Capital Employed is likely to drop 0.04 in 2024. At this time, Carriage Services' Other Current Assets are fairly stable compared to the past year. Return On Tangible Assets is likely to climb to 0.04 in 2024, whereas Non Current Assets Total are likely to drop slightly above 780.8 M in 2024. The entity currently falls under 'Small-Cap' category with a total capitalization of 393.89 M. Market capitalization usually refers to the total value of a company's stock within the entire market. To calculate Carriage Services's market, we take the total number of its shares issued and multiply it by Carriage Services'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 undervalued. Carriage Services shows a prevailing Real Value of $32.61 per share. The current price of the firm is $26.0. Our model approximates the value of Carriage Services from analyzing the firm fundamentals such as Current Valuation of 964.66 M, profit margin of 0.08 %, and Return On Equity of 0.19 as well as examining its technical indicators and probability of bankruptcy. In general, most investors favor buying undervalued instruments and disposing overvalued instruments since, at some point, asset prices and their ongoing real values will blend.

China Distance Education (DL)

The company has Return on Asset (ROA) of 3.12 % which means that for every $100 of assets, it generated a profit of $3.12. This is typical in the industry. Likewise, it shows a return on total equity (ROE) of 6.49 %, which means that it produced $6.49 on every 100 dollars invested by current stockholders. China Distance's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well China Distance manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities. The entity currently falls under 'Small-Cap' category with a market capitalization of 332.64 M. Market capitalization usually refers to the total value of a company's stock within the entire market.

Pcs Edventures Com (PCSV)

The entity has a beta of 0.4194. Pcs Edventures returns are very sensitive to returns on the market. As the market goes up or down, Pcs Edventures is expected to follow. The beta indicator helps investors understand whether Pcs Edventures 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 Pcs deviates very little from the market, it does not add much risk to the portfolio, but it also doesn't increase the expected returns. The firm currently falls under 'Nano-Cap' category with a current market capitalization of 6.69 M. Market capitalization usually refers to the total value of a company's stock within the entire market. To calculate Pcs Edventures's market, we take the total number of its shares issued and multiply it by Pcs Edventures's current market price.

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. Pcs Edventures seems to be overvalued based on Macroaxis valuation methodology. Our model determines the value of Pcs Edventures Com from analyzing the company fundamentals such as Current Valuation of 7.84 M, price to earning of (1.68) X, and Return On Asset of -1.32 as well as examining its technical indicators and probability of bankruptcy. In general, most investors support buying undervalued entities and disposing overvalued entities since, at some point, asset prices and their ongoing real values will merge together.

Aspen Group (ASPU)

The company has return on total asset (ROA) of (0.0617) % which means that it has lost $0.0617 on every $100 spent on assets. This is way below average. Similarly, it shows a return on stockholder's equity (ROE) of (0.2828) %, meaning that it created substantial loss on money invested by shareholders.

Watch out for price decline

Please consider monitoring Macroaxis on a daily basis if you are holding a position in it. Macroaxis is trading at a penny-stock level, and the possibility of delisting is much higher compared to other privates. However, just because the private is trading under one dollar, does not mean it will be marked for deletion. Most exchanges require public instruments, such as Macroaxis stock to be traded above the $1 level to remain listed. If Macroaxis private price falls below $1 for 30 consecutive trading days, the exchange can delist it. Once the company reaches this point, they will be sent an initial price violation notice directly from an exchange.

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.
