Solvency and debt-coverage ratios — lower is generally safer
Pinterest, Inc. carries a Debt/EBITDA ratio of 0.7x, which is very conservative (81% below the sector average of 3.6x). The company holds a net cash position — cash of $969M exceeds total debt of $221M, providing substantial financial flexibility for buybacks, acquisitions, or weathering downturns. Interest coverage of just 2.9x is concerning — the company has limited headroom to absorb earnings volatility before struggling with debt service.
