The cash flow coverage ratio measures how well a company's operating cash flow can cover debt or other fixed obligations.
Financial ratios for current coverage, defensive interval, operating cash flow, cash-flow coverage, capex coverage, and interest coverage.
Liquidity and Cash-Flow Coverage Ratios is the financial-statement landing page for current coverage, defensive interval, operating cash flow, cash-flow coverage, capex coverage, and interest coverage ratios. It keeps related terms in one branch so readers can move from a broad statement question to the article that owns the evidence.
Use this page when a liquidity or coverage ratio changes the view of near-term obligations and cash support. Use the parent Ratios, Analysis, and Common-Size Statements page when you need the broader reporting map. For an individual decision, confirm the statement line, disclosure note, reporting period, measurement basis, and calculation before relying on the term.
