The single best metric for measuring whether a company's debt load is manageable or dangerous.
Revenue can be manipulated. Earnings get adjusted. But free cash flow margin tells you exactly how much cash a company generates per dollar of sales — and it's why Realty Income scores 67.8% while MicroStrategy bleeds -4,777%.
Most REITs are cash machines. Then there's Equinix, grinding out a 2.1% margin while the sector median sits at 42.1%.
