Solvency and debt-coverage ratios — lower is generally safer
Sempra carries a Debt/EBITDA ratio of 6.2x, which is highly leveraged (20% above the sector average of 5.2x). Net debt stands at $36.3B ($36.3B total debt minus $2M cash). Interest coverage of just 2.8x is concerning — the company has limited headroom to absorb earnings volatility before struggling with debt service.
