Interest coverage is a financial ratio that indicates a company's ability to pay interest expenses on outstanding debt. It is calculated by dividing earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) by the interest expense. A higher interest coverage ratio suggests that the company is more capable of servicing its interest obligations.

Looking at the data provided for Idacorp, Inc., we observe fluctuations in the interest coverage ratio over the past eight quarters. In Q4 2022, the interest coverage ratio was relatively high at 2.30, indicating a strong ability to cover interest payments. However, this ratio dipped in subsequent quarters, reaching a low of 1.96 in Q3 2023.

Overall, the trend in Idacorp's interest coverage ratio shows some variability but generally remains above 2 in most quarters. This suggests that the company has maintained a reasonable capacity to meet its interest obligations, although there may be some variability in its earnings or interest expenses. Investors and creditors may consider monitoring this ratio to ensure that Idacorp can continue to effectively manage its debt servicing requirements.
