The interest coverage ratio for Fluor Corporation provides insight into the company's ability to meet its interest obligations using its operating income. In 2021 and 2020, the interest coverage ratio was 2.87 and 3.11, respectively, indicating that the company generated enough operating income to cover its interest expenses.
