At this time, Kinaxis' Return On Tangible Assets are very stable compared to the past year. As of the 29th of November 2024, Return On Assets is likely to grow to 0.02, while Return On Capital Employed is likely to drop 0.03.

Kinaxis has accumulated 51.79 M in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 0.06, which may suggest the company is not taking enough advantage from borrowing. Kinaxis has a current ratio of 2.78, suggesting that it is liquid and has the ability to pay its financial obligations in time and when they become due. Debt can assist Kinaxis until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Kinaxis' 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 Kinaxis sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Kinaxis to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Kinaxis' use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.

The ability to find closely correlated positions to Kinaxis could be a great tool in your tax-loss harvesting strategies, allowing investors a quick way to find a similar-enough asset to replace Kinaxis when you sell it. If you don't do this, your portfolio allocation will be skewed against your target asset allocation. So, investors can't just sell and buy back Kinaxis - that would be a violation of the tax code under the "wash sale" rule, and this is why you need to find a similar enough asset and use the proceeds from selling Kinaxis to buy it.
The correlation of Kinaxis is a statistical measure of how it moves in relation to other instruments. This measure is expressed in what is known as the correlation coefficient, which ranges between -1 and +1. A perfect positive correlation (i.e., a correlation coefficient of +1) implies that as Kinaxis moves, either up or down, the other security will move in the same direction. Alternatively, perfect negative correlation means that if Kinaxis moves in either direction, the perfectly negatively correlated security will move in the opposite direction. If the correlation is 0, the equities are not correlated; they are entirely random. A correlation greater than 0.8 is generally described as strong, whereas a correlation less than 0.5 is generally considered weak.
Correlation analysis and pair trading evaluation for Kinaxis can also be used as hedging techniques within a particular sector or industry or even over random equities to generate a better risk-adjusted return on your portfolios.
