Interest Coverage is a ratio that determines how easily a company can pay interest expenses on outstanding debt. It is calculated by dividing a company's
Operating Income
by its Interest Expense. Elite Semiconductor Microelectronics Tech's
Operating Income
for the
three
months ended in Dec. 2025 was NT$974 Mil. Elite Semiconductor Microelectronics Tech's Interest Expense for the
three
months ended in Dec. 2025 was NT$-20 Mil.
Elite Semiconductor Microelectronics Tech's interest coverage for the quarter that ended in Dec. 2025 was 48.50.
The higher the ratio, the stronger the company's financial strength is.
Ben Graham requires that a company has a minimum interest coverage of 5 with the companies he invested. If the interest coverage is less than 2, the company is burdened by debt. Any business slow or recession may drag the company into a situation where it cannot pay the interest on its debt.
