Lowest Debt
Stocks with the Lowest Debt Loads
Top stocks ranked by lowest net-debt-to-EBITDA, Buffett's preferred balance-sheet signal. Below 1x is fortress-balance-sheet territory; above 3x is where forced deleveraging in a downturn becomes a real risk. Conservative balance sheets are the single biggest determinant of which businesses survive a 'this too shall pass' cycle.
