Solvency and debt-coverage ratios — lower is generally safer
Omnicom Group Inc. carries a Debt/EBITDA ratio of 4.5x, which is highly leveraged (24% above the sector average of 3.6x). Net debt stands at $5.9B ($12.8B total debt minus $6.9B cash). Interest coverage of just 2.1x is concerning — the company has limited headroom to absorb earnings volatility before struggling with debt service.
