CarMax Story

Will CarMax (NYSE:KMX) debt increase in January
CarMax financial leverage ratio helps determine the effect of debt on the overall profitability of the company. It measures the total debt position of CarMax, including all of CarMax's outstanding debt obligations, and compares it with the equity. In simple terms, the high financial leverage means the cost of production, together with running the business day-to-day, is high, whereas, lower financial leverage implies lower fixed cost investment in the business and generally considered by investors to be a good sign. So if creditors own a majority of CarMax assets, the company is considered highly leveraged. Understanding the composition and structure of overall CarMax debt and outstanding corporate bonds gives a good idea of how risky the capital structure of a business is and if it is worth investing in it.
