Albemarle Corp (ALB)

The company has Return on Asset of 0.0173 % which means that on every $100 spent on assets, it made $0.0173 of profit. This is way below average. In the same way, it shows a return on shareholders' equity (ROE) of 0.1871 %, implying that it generated $0.1871 on every 100 dollars invested. Albemarle Corp's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Albemarle Corp manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities. The current year's Return On Equity is expected to grow to 0.17, whereas Return On Tangible Assets are forecasted to decline to 0.07. At present, Albemarle Corp's Total Assets are projected to increase significantly based on the last few years of reporting. The current year's Non Current Assets Total is expected to grow to about 13.7 B, whereas Other Assets are forecasted to decline to 0.95. The company currently falls under 'Large-Cap' category with a total capitalization of 14.14 B. Market capitalization usually refers to the total value of a company's stock within the entire market. To calculate Albemarle Corp's market, we take the total number of its shares issued and multiply it by Albemarle Corp'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. Albemarle Corp shows a prevailing Real Value of $147.98 per share. The current price of the firm is $119.0. Our model approximates the value of Albemarle Corp from analyzing the firm fundamentals such as profit margin of 0.16 %, and Return On Equity of 0.19 as well as examining its technical indicators and probability of bankruptcy. In general, most investors favor taking in undervalued instruments and trading 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.

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.
