Solvency and debt-coverage ratios — lower is generally safer
SAP SE carries a Debt/EBITDA ratio of 0.7x, which is very conservative (76% below the sector average of 3.0x). The company holds a net cash position — cash of $8.2B exceeds total debt of $8.1B, providing substantial financial flexibility for buybacks, acquisitions, or weathering downturns. Interest coverage of 7.5x is adequate, though a cyclical earnings downturn could tighten the margin of safety.
