What is Leverage Ratio?
——————————————–
The leverage ratio, commonly known as the debt to equity ratio, determines how much debt a company has compared to its equity. This is an important ratio for bankers since it indicates the company’s ability to repay loans with its own funds.

Formula
——————————————–
Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity) Formula = Total Debt (current + long-term) / Shareholders’ Equity

Interpretation
——————————————–
– A lower ratio is generally thought to be desirable because it implies that the company’s assets cover its liabilities with its own capital.
– An increasing leverage ratio over time indicates that the company is unable to generate enough cash flow from its core business and is relying on external debt to stay afloat.
– Capital-intensive sectors have a higher leverage ratio in contrast to the service sector.
