Is KZD’s cost structure indicative of a high beta?An asset-heavy company tends to have a higher beta because the risk associated with running fixed assets during a downturn is highly expensive. I examine KZD’s ratio of fixed assets to total assets to see whether the company is highly exposed to the risk of this type of constraint. Considering fixed assets is virtually non-existent in KZD’s operations, it has low dependency on fixed costs to generate revenue. 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. This outcome contradicts KZD’s current beta value which indicates an above-average volatility. What this means for you:You could benefit from higher returns during times of economic growth by holding onto KZD. Its low fixed cost also means that, in terms of operating leverage, it is relatively flexible during times of economic downturns.
