The operating margin (profit before interest and taxes) is 8.5%. At a P/E ratio of 19.2, you currently pay 19.2 dollars for every dollar of the company's annual earnings. A consistently profitable company is usually more resilient than growth stocks that are not yet making money.
Can Ryder System go bankrupt?
The bankruptcy risk of Ryder System is rated as elevated. Altman Z2 (a model for assessing financial distress) is 0.53 — that places the company in the weak zone. This is a probability based on the numbers, not a verdict — bankruptcy is not imminent. But the balance sheet is measurably weaker than average, so watch the debt, liquidity and possible capital raises. The Piotroski score (financial health 0-9, higher is better) is 7 — which is strong. Debt relative to equity is 435% (high). Remember: models like Altman Z2 are statistical — unexpected shocks (fraud, a sector collapse, lawsuits) can always happen. Spread your portfolio.
Does Ryder System have a lot of debt?
Yes, Ryder System has elevated debt relative to equity. The debt-to-equity ratio (D/E — interest-bearing debt to equity) is 435%. For the industrials sector, anything above 200% counts as elevated — that raises the financial risk, especially if interest rates rise or earnings fall. Industrial companies often sit at 100-200% because of heavy production assets and long order books. Note: D/E levels are highly sector-specific — a bank at 300% debt is normal, a tech stock at 300% is extremely leveraged. Always compare with similar companies in the same sector. Can Ryder System service its debt? Could struggle to service its debt — the interest coverage ratio (how many times earnings can cover interest payments) is 1.4x, and net debt equals 3.0 years of earnings (EBITDA).
