The interest coverage ratio for National Beverage Corp, based on the provided data, indicates a significantly strong capacity to meet interest obligations. As of April 29, 2023, and April 30, 2023, the interest coverage ratio is recorded at 771.42, suggesting the company's operating earnings vastly exceed its interest expenses by approximately 771 times. This exceptionally high ratio reflects an extremely comfortable financial position in terms of debt serviceability during this period.
For the subsequent years, the data for April 27, 2024, April 30, 2024, and April 30, 2025, shows no recorded interest coverage ratio; indicated by the dash ("—"). This absence of data might imply that the company either did not have any interest expenses during these periods, possibly due to debt repayment, restructuring, or other financial activities, or that the data was not reported or available at the time of analysis.
Overall, the notably elevated interest coverage ratio in 2023 underscores that National Beverage Corp possessed abundant operating income relative to interest obligations at that time, highlighting robust financial health and low risk of interest payment default. The lack of data for subsequent periods precludes a continuous trend analysis, but it does not inherently suggest deteriorating financial stability.
