Interest Coverage Ratio
Fundamental Analysis
The formula for interest coverage ratio is:
Interest Coverage Ratio = Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) / Interest Expense
A high interest coverage ratio generally indicates that a company has strong earnings and can easily meet its interest payments. A low interest coverage ratio indicates that a company may struggle to pay its interest expenses.
Fundamental Analysis uses Interest Coverage Ratio as one of the key financial ratios to assess a company*s financial health and viability. It is often used by investors and analysts to determine whether a company is a good investment opportunity. A high interest coverage ratio generally indicates a financially stable company, while a low interest coverage ratio can be a red flag for potential investors, as it can signal that the company may be at a higher risk of defaulting on their debt.
