Waseco Resources Inc (TSXV:WRI): Risks You Need To Consider Before Buying

Publié le 08 décembre 2017

TSXV:WRI Income Statement Dec 9th 17

How WRI’s assets could affect its beta

During times of economic downturn, low demand may cause companies to readjust production of their goods and services. It is more difficult for companies to lower their cost, if the majority of these costs are generated by fixed assets. Therefore, this is a type of risk which is associated with higher beta. I examine WRI’s ratio of fixed assets to total assets to see whether the company is highly exposed to the risk of this type of constraint. Given that fixed assets make up an insignificant portion of total assets, WRI doesn’t rely heavily upon these expensive, inflexible assets to run its business during downturns. As a result, the company may be less volatile relative to broad market movements, compared to a company of similar size but higher proportion of fixed assets. However, this is the opposite to what WRI’s actual beta value suggests, which is higher stock volatility relative to the market.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? You could reap the gains of WRI’s returns in times of an economic boom. However, during a downturn, a more defensive stock can cushion the impact of this risk. Depending on the composition of your portfolio, high-beta stocks such as WRI is valuable to pump up your returns, in particular, during times of economic growth.
