Is Deere & financially healthy?
Not really
Deere & carries heavy debt: it would take 4.8 years of earnings to pay it off.
The numbers behind it
Net debt / EBITDA4.8 years
Cash vs. debt$8.3B vs. $64.3B
Current ratio2.3×Short-term assets for each $1 of bills due within a year
Interest coverage3.0×How many times operating profit covers the interest bill
How we decide
We measure debt in years of earnings (net debt / EBITDA): under 1 is very comfortable, 1 to 3 is manageable, above 3 is heavy. A company that earns less than 3 times its interest bill also counts as weak.
