Hi,

While this is a broad question, what are your go-to metrics/ratios to evaluate debt and if it can be managed by a company? What else gets taken into consideration?

I have recently been looking at Carsales (CAR) which is listed on the ASX, but noticed that it carries quite a bit of debt and need some help analysing its debt load.

Key ratios like interest coverage can help determine if a stock can meet its interest obligations:

The Financial Strength metrics for Carsales look quite good. Equity to Asset, Debt to Equity ratio's are healthy. Altman score (risk of bankruptcy) is very good. Overall does not look like there is much to worry about given the growth profile of this company.
