Solvency and debt-coverage ratios — lower is generally safer
YPF Sociedad Anónima carries a Debt/EBITDA ratio of 2.3x, which is manageable (8% below the sector average of 2.5x). Net debt stands at $8.8T ($10.0T total debt minus $1.2T cash). Interest coverage of just 2.1x is concerning — the company has limited headroom to absorb earnings volatility before struggling with debt service.
