Questions, answered.

What does interest coverage mean?
How many times the company's operating profit covers its interest bill.
How do you interpret interest coverage?
Higher is safer; below ~2× is a warning that earnings provide little cushion against the debt burden. Debt-free companies have no interest expense and the ratio is left blank.
How does interest coverage compare across companies?
Comparable across leveraged non-financials; less relevant for net-cash companies with negligible interest.
