HP Trading Alerts and Improvement Suggestions

The company has 9.48 B in debt with debt to equity (D/E) ratio of 0.88, which is OK given its current industry classification. HP Inc has a current ratio of 0.74, suggesting that it has not enough short term capital to pay financial commitments when the payables are due. Debt can assist HP until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, HP's 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 HP Inc sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for HP to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about HP's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.

HP Greeks

Most traded equities are subject to two types of risk - systematic (i.e., market) and unsystematic (i.e., nonmarket or company-specific) risk. Unsystematic risk is the risk that events specific to HP or Technology Hardware, Storage & Peripherals sector will adversely affect the stock's price. This type of risk can be diversified away by owning several different stocks in different industries whose stock prices have shown a small correlation to each other. On the other hand, systematic risk is the risk that HP's price will be affected by overall stock market movements and cannot be diversified away. So, no matter how many positions you have, you cannot eliminate market risk. However, you can measure a HP stock's historical response to market movements and buy it if you are comfortable with its volatility direction. Beta and standard deviation are two commonly used measures to help you make the right decision.

HP Volatility Alert

HP Inc has relatively low volatility with skewness of 0.61 and kurtosis of 1.2. Understanding different market volatility trends often help investors to time the market. Properly using volatility indicators enable traders to measure HP's stock risk against market volatility during both bullish and bearish trends. The higher level of volatility that comes with bear markets can directly impact HP's stock price while adding stress to investors as they watch their shares' value plummet. This usually forces investors to rebalance their portfolios by buying different financial instruments as prices fall.

HP Implied Volatility

HP's implied volatility exposes the market's sentiment of HP Inc stock's possible movements over time. However, it does not forecast the overall direction of its price. In a nutshell, if HP's implied volatility is high, the market thinks the stock has potential for high price swings in either direction. On the other hand, the low implied volatility suggests that HP stock will not fluctuate a lot when HP's options are near their expiration.

HP Fundamentals Vs Peers

Comparing HP's fundamentals to the average values of its peers is one of the most widely used and accepted methods of equity analyses. It helps to analyze HP's direct or indirect competition across all of the common fundamentals between HP and the related equities. This way, we can detect undervalued stocks with similar characteristics as HP or determine the stocks which would be an excellent addition to an existing portfolio. Peer analysis of HP's fundamental indicators could also be used in its relative valuation, which is a method of valuing HP by comparing valuation metrics with those of similar companies.

The market value of HP Inc is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of HP that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of HP's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is HP's true underlying value. Investors use various methods to calculate intrinsic value and buy a stock when its market value falls below its intrinsic value. Because HP's market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect HP's underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.
Please note, there is a significant difference between HP's value and its price as these two are different measures arrived at by different means. Investors typically determine if HP is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections. However, HP's price is the amount at which it trades on the open market and represents the number that a seller and buyer find agreeable to each party.
