Solvency and debt-coverage ratios — lower is generally safer
Northern Oil and Gas, Inc. carries a Debt/EBITDA ratio of 1.7x, which is manageable (30% below the sector average of 2.4x). Net debt stands at $2.4B ($2.4B total debt minus $14M cash). Interest coverage of just 1.4x is concerning — the company has limited headroom to absorb earnings volatility before struggling with debt service.
