Solvency and debt-coverage ratios — lower is generally safer
Welltower Inc. carries a Debt/EBITDA ratio of 1.1x, which is manageable (84% below the sector average of 6.7x). The company holds a net cash position — cash of $5.0B exceeds total debt of $2.8B, providing substantial financial flexibility for buybacks, acquisitions, or weathering downturns. Interest coverage of just 0.8x is concerning — the company has limited headroom to absorb earnings volatility before struggling with debt service.
