KEY Leverage & Debt
Solvency and debt-coverage ratios — lower is generally safer
KeyCorp carries a Debt/EBITDA ratio of 4.7x, which is highly leveraged (11% above the sector average of 4.3x). Net debt stands at $9.7B ($11.0B total debt minus $1.3B cash). Interest coverage of just 0.6x is concerning — the company has limited headroom to absorb earnings volatility before struggling with debt service.

KEY Liquidity & Efficiency
Short-term solvency ratios and asset-utilisation metrics
The current ratio of 0.77x is below 1.0, meaning current liabilities exceed current assets — though the company's $1.3B cash position helps mitigate short-term liquidity concerns. The current ratio has improved from 0.35x to 0.77x over the past 3 years.
