Looking forward to discussing emerging technologies and capital markets at the upcoming Alberta Securities Commission panel! There are some very real risks as we’ve already seen stocks trade based on fake AI generated images or data. We’ve also seen tech increase access to useful investments and reduce costs for consumers with better/cheaper data tools. A real risk with technology in Canada is also that we are simply slow to permit/adopt. Technology is deflationary and critical to democratize access to tools, products and insights. Important factors as Canadians face a cost of living crisis.

The Weighted Average Cost of Capital and Its Universality in Crisis Times: Evidence from the Energy Sector Recent economic anomalies, including the unprecedented lockdown generated by the COVID-19 crisis, have demonstrated that the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) remains an actual topic in the financial literature and practice. Companies operate increasingly volatile due to twin transitions and interlinked crises. So they must have specific tools for measuring risk and profitability to have a sound financial policy. Based on the earlier results obtained by Modigliani and Miller (1963), Harris and Pringle (1985), and Farber, Gillet, and Szafarz (2006), this study shows the relationship between WACC and interest rate. It offers a modified WACC formula that considers unstable market circumstances. The newly redefined WACC can be a valuable tool in business planning for companies from different fields. https://lnkd.in/dicpZX-K
