GEARING
Ratio of a firm’s debt in relation to its equity capital, normally expressed as a percentage. It gauges a firm’s financial leverage and demonstrates the extent to which its operations are financed by lenders against shareholders. It also pertains to the ratio between a company’s stock price and warrants’ price. This can be measured by numerous ratios such as the debt-to-equity ratio, debt-service ratio, and equity ratio. The suitable degree of levering for a given firm depends on its sector and leverage employed by counterparts. In general, a high gearing is considered very speculative.
