Essential EBITDA Ratios Every Investor Should Know

Unlocking company performance starts with understanding the right numbers — and EBITDA ratios are among the most practical tools for investors who want to dig deeper than surface-level earnings.

The post above highlights four essential EBITDA ratios every investor should know: EBITDA Margin, EBITDA Interest Coverage, Total Debt to EBITDA, and EV to EBITDA. 

Each ratio serves a clear purpose: how efficiently a company turns revenue into core profit, how easily it can cover interest payments, how long it would take to pay off debt using operating earnings, and how the market values the company relative to its operating performance.

For investors in Qatar, these ratios are especially useful when comparing listed companies across sectors like banking, telecom, or energy — where cash flow strength and debt capacity are key signals of stability and growth. 

These ratios help investors go beyond headlines, understand risk exposure, and spot undervalued opportunities in the local market.

Next time you scan a company’s financials, run through these simple equations. They are easy to calculate but powerful in showing the real quality of a company’s earnings. 

Good analysis starts with good questions — and EBITDA ratios keep your questions focused where it matters most.
