Wow! Toyota $269B debt vs BYD $5.6B debt


Both figures need to be qualified.

1. The BYD debt is alleged to be undercounted due to treating suppliers as lenders.

2. The Toyota debt includes a large chunk of lease financing. Which sort of doesn't count.

But even if you adjust Toyota's down and BYD's up, Toyota's is still significantly larger.


> its Net Debt/EBITDA was around 3.7x, indicating strong earnings cover for its debt

TLDR: Toyota can afford it
