Solvency Ratios (Summary)
Advanced Micro Devices Inc., solvency ratios (quarterly data)
Based on: 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-09-27), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-06-28), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-03-29), 10-K (reporting date: 2024-12-28), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-09-28), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-06-29), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-03-30), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-12-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-07-01), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-04-01), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-09-24), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-06-25), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-03-26), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-12-25), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-09-25), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-06-26), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-03-27).
- Debt Ratios
- The debt to equity ratio remained generally low throughout the periods, fluctuating mostly between 0.03 and 0.07, indicating a conservative use of debt relative to shareholders' equity. It showed a slight increase towards the end of the timeline, reaching 0.07 in the period ending March 29, 2025, before declining again. When including operating lease liabilities, the debt to equity ratio followed a similar pattern but generally maintained marginally higher values, peaking at 0.09 early on and tapering off to around 0.06 by the latest quarters.
- The debt to capital ratio exhibited a stable trend, mostly between 0.03 and 0.07. The inclusion of operating lease liabilities raised the ratio slightly, but similarly to debt to equity, the higher values were observed in earlier periods, with a gradual reduction or stabilization in later quarters.
- Debt to assets ratios remained quite modest, ranging from 0.02 to 0.06, indicating a relatively low proportion of assets financed by debt. Including operating lease liabilities again increased these ratios slightly but maintained a similar trend of minor fluctuations without significant spikes.
- Financial Leverage
- Financial leverage ratios hovered around the 1.2 to 1.6 range. There was a modest increase in financial leverage in the early to middle periods, peaking at 1.66 in December 25, 2021, but afterward, the ratio stabilized around 1.2 to 1.3. This suggests moderate reliance on debt relative to equity, with no substantial upward or downward trend in recent periods.
- Interest Coverage
- Interest coverage showed considerable volatility over the observations. Early periods displayed very strong coverage ratios, exceeding 40 and peaking at over 109 in December 2021, indicative of highly favorable earnings relative to interest expense. However, there was a sharp decline beginning in December 2022, with ratios falling below 3 and even negative during the period ending July 1, 2023, reflecting earnings insufficient to cover interest obligations at that time.
- Subsequent quarters demonstrated gradual recovery in interest coverage, improving steadily from low or negative figures back into positive territory and reaching around 27 by the end of the most recent period. This pattern reflects a significant temporary strain on the company's ability to cover interest expenses followed by a recovery trend.
- Overall Observations
- The company has maintained a conservative debt posture, with low debt ratios stable over time, augmented slightly when operating lease liabilities are considered. Financial leverage remains moderate and steady, without signs of leverage stress.
- The key area of concern arises from the interest coverage metric, which experienced substantial deterioration late in the timeline, indicating earnings challenges relative to interest costs. Nevertheless, the subsequent improvement in interest coverage suggests effective management actions or improved operational conditions that have restored better earnings-to-interest balance.

The analysis of the financial data over the observed periods reveals several key trends and patterns concerning the company's total debt, stockholders' equity, and debt to equity ratio.
- Total Debt
- The total debt remained stable at approximately $313 million from March 2021 through December 2021. Starting in March 2022, total debt surged significantly to $1.787 billion and continued to rise, reaching a peak of $2.777 billion in June 2022. Subsequently, total debt experienced a modest decline and relative stability between approximately $2.4 billion and $2.5 billion through December 2023. From the first quarter of 2024, debt levels decreased markedly to around $1.7 billion by mid-2024 but then escalated sharply again in 2025, peaking at $4.164 billion in the first quarter and declining somewhat to about $3.2 billion later in the year.
- Stockholders’ Equity
- Stockholders’ equity followed a generally upward trajectory throughout the time frame. Initially, equity rose steadily from $6.5 billion in March 2021 to nearly $7.5 billion by December 2021. A substantial increase occurred in the first quarter of 2022, with equity jumping to over $55 billion and remaining relatively stable around the mid-$50 billion range through the end of 2023. From early 2024 onwards, equity demonstrated a slow but consistent increase, climbing from approximately $56 billion to nearly $61 billion by the third quarter of 2025.
- Debt to Equity Ratio
- The debt to equity ratio remained consistently low throughout the periods analyzed, indicating relatively low leverage. It started around 0.05 in early 2021 and declined slightly to approximately 0.03 by March 2022, reflecting the steep increase in equity relative to debt. The ratio fluctuated modestly in the range of 0.03 to 0.05 through 2024. Notably, the ratio rose to 0.07 in the first quarter of 2025, coinciding with the sharp increase in total debt, before decreasing again to around 0.05 by the third quarter of 2025.
Overall, the company maintained a very strong equity base with relatively low leverage for most of the analyzed periods. The significant increases in total debt during certain quarters, particularly in early 2022 and 2025, did not correspond to equivalent equity decreases, suggesting strategic debt financing possibly for expansion or investment. The stability and growth in stockholders' equity reflect continued retained earnings or equity financing. Temporarily higher debt to equity ratios during peaks in borrowing indicate short-term increases in financial risk, but the company generally controlled leverage at conservative levels.

1 Q3 2025 Calculation
Debt to equity (including operating lease liability) = Total debt (including operating lease liability) ÷ Stockholders’ equity
= 3,870 ÷ 60,790 = 0.06
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
- Total Debt (including operating lease liability)
- Over the observed periods, total debt exhibited significant fluctuations. Initially, it remained relatively low and stable, hovering around the 500-660 million USD range until the end of 2021. Beginning in March 2022, there was a sharp increase, reaching a peak near 3,200 million USD in mid-2022. Following this peak, debt slightly decreased and stabilized around 2,200-3,000 million USD for several quarters. However, in early 2025, total debt experienced a sharp upward spike, rising above 4,700 million USD before receding slightly below 3,900 million USD by the end of the data series. This pattern indicates periods of increased leverage followed by partial deleveraging.
- Stockholders’ Equity
- Stockholders’ equity started at approximately 6,500 to 7,500 million USD through 2021. Beginning in March 2022, a pronounced increase occurred, with equity values jumping dramatically to above 55,000 million USD and maintaining a stable range between roughly 54,500 to 57,500 million USD throughout 2022 to 2024. The upward trend continued modestly into 2025, with equity reaching nearly 61,000 million USD by the latest quarter. This consistent increase reflects a substantial growth in the company's net asset base over the observed period.
- Debt to Equity Ratio (including operating lease liability)
- The debt to equity ratio remained low across all quarters, consistently below 0.1, indicating conservative leverage relative to equity. It showed minor fluctuations, starting around 0.08-0.09 in early 2021, declining slightly to the 0.04-0.06 range from 2022 through early 2024, suggesting a period of reduced relative debt burden. However, a rise occurred again in early 2025, with the ratio nearing 0.08 before settling near 0.06 in the final quarter. Despite this increase, the ratio remains low, underscoring strong equity capital relative to the company’s debt levels throughout the timeline.
- Overall Insights
- The data reveals a company that undertook significant debt increases especially in 2022 and again in early 2025, potentially to finance expansion or investments. However, these increases were accompanied by much larger and steady growth in stockholders’ equity, which more than offset the elevated debt. The maintenance of a low debt to equity ratio throughout the entire period indicates a robust capital structure with low financial risk from leverage. The latest quarters show some volatility in total debt and the leverage ratio, warranting monitoring to ensure that debt levels remain sustainable relative to equity growth.

- Total Debt
- The total debt experienced a significant increase between the end of 2021 and mid-2022, rising sharply from approximately $313 million to over $2.7 billion. This elevated debt level was largely maintained through the end of 2023, hovering around $2.4 to $2.5 billion. In early 2024, the debt level decreased markedly to around $1.7 billion and remained stable for several quarters before rising significantly again in early 2025, reaching over $4.1 billion, followed by a subsequent decline to approximately $3.2 billion by the third quarter of 2025.
- Total Capital
- Total capital showed a pronounced jump from about $7 billion in early 2021 to well above $57 billion starting in early 2022, maintaining a relatively stable range just above $57 billion up through the beginning of 2024. After that, total capital continued a gradual increase, reaching above $64 billion by late 2025. The increase in total capital aligns with the periods of elevated debt, suggesting possible financing or equity issuance activities during these intervals.
- Debt to Capital Ratio
- The debt to capital ratio remained fairly low and stable through early 2022, generally remaining between 0.03 and 0.05. The ratio dropped to its lowest levels around early to mid-2024, near 0.03, reflecting a lower leverage relative to capital. However, in early 2025, the ratio rose notably to 0.07, the highest level in the observed period, before decreasing again to about 0.05. Overall, despite fluctuations in total debt and capital, the company maintained a relatively low leverage ratio, indicating a conservative capital structure relative to its size.
- Overall Insights
- The data indicates a period of significant capital raising and debt increase commencing in early 2022, with more than an eightfold rise in total capital and a corresponding substantial increase in debt levels. Despite this, the company sustained a generally low debt-to-capital ratio, highlighting prudent financial management. The peaks in debt and debt-to-capital ratio in 2025 signal increased leverage during that year, which may warrant further analysis of the underlying causes and their impact on financial stability.

The financial data reflects the trends in the company's debt levels, capital structure, and leverage ratios over multiple quarterly periods from early 2021 through late 2025. The analysis focuses on three main metrics: total debt including operating lease liability, total capital including operating lease liability, and the debt to capital ratio.
- Total Debt (Including Operating Lease Liability)
-
The total debt exhibits a pronounced increase beginning in the first quarter of 2022, rising sharply from approximately 661 million US dollars at the end of 2021 to a peak exceeding 3,100 million in the middle quarters of 2022. Following this peak, debt levels fluctuate moderately around 2,200 to 3,000 million through 2024. Notably, there is a significant jump in debt in the first half of 2025, reaching over 4,700 million, before declining somewhat but remaining elevated near 3,800 million towards the later part of 2025.
- Total Capital (Including Operating Lease Liability)
-
Total capital unexpectedly rises dramatically from under 10,000 million US dollars in late 2021 to over 57,000 million starting in the first quarter of 2022. After this substantial increase, total capital remains relatively stable with minor quarter-to-quarter fluctuations, fluctuating between roughly 57,000 and 64,000 million through to the end of 2025. This points to considerable growth in equity or other components of capital during 2022, maintaining a high capital base during subsequent periods.
- Debt to Capital Ratio (Including Operating Lease Liability)
-
The leverage ratio remains consistently low and stable despite the fluctuations in nominal debt and capital values. Initially, the ratio hovers around 0.07 to 0.08 through 2021. It then declines to approximately 0.04 to 0.05 throughout 2022 to early 2025, demonstrating that the growth in capital outpaced increases in debt. There is a noticeable but temporary increase in the ratio to about 0.08 during the early quarters of 2025, coinciding with the spike in total debt, before settling slightly lower near 0.06 towards the end of 2025. Overall, the company maintains a conservative leverage position relative to its capital base.
In summary, the data reveals a substantial capital base expansion commencing in early 2022, accompanied by a sharp rise in debt levels that peaks in mid-2022 and again in early 2025. Despite these increases in absolute debt, leverage ratios remain low and stable due to proportional or greater increases in total capital. This suggests a strategic approach emphasizing capital strength while managing debt levels to maintain relatively low leverage across the observed periods.

1 Q3 2025 Calculation
Debt to assets = Total debt ÷ Total assets
= 3,220 ÷ 76,891 = 0.04
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
- Total Debt
- The total debt remained relatively stable at approximately $313 million from early 2021 through the end of that year. Starting in the first quarter of 2022, there was a notable increase, with total debt rising sharply to $1,787 million and continuing to climb, peaking at $2,777 million in mid-2022. Afterward, total debt fluctuated around the $2,400–2,500 million range through early 2024. A significant decline occurred in mid-2024, where total debt dropped back to around $1,700 million. However, by 2025, the total debt showed a marked rise again, reaching a high of $4,164 million in the first quarter before decreasing to approximately $3,200 million in the following quarters.
- Total Assets
- Total assets exhibited a steady upward trend throughout the entire period under review. Early 2021 saw assets around $10,000 million, which remained relatively stable until the end of 2021. Beginning in 2022, assets increased dramatically to exceed $66,000 million and continued to rise slightly into 2024, largely stabilizing in the $67,000–69,000 million range. In 2025, total assets showed further growth, peaking at nearly $77,000 million by the end of the year.
- Debt to Assets Ratio
- This ratio consistently remained low across all periods, ranging between 0.02 and 0.06. Initially, it was around 0.03 during 2021 and early 2022, with a slight increase to approximately 0.04 during late 2022 through early 2024, indicative of a modest increase in leverage relative to assets. In mid-2024, the ratio decreased to around 0.02, reflecting the reduction in total debt in comparison to assets. However, during 2025, the ratio increased again, reaching up to 0.06 at one point, signaling a higher proportion of debt relative to assets, though still at a relatively low level overall.

- Total Debt (Including Operating Lease Liability)
- Over the examined periods, total debt exhibited significant volatility. Initially, debt remained relatively stable at low levels between 551 million to 661 million USD from early 2021 through the end of that year. A sharp increase occurred in the first quarter of 2022, with debt rising substantially to 2,157 million USD and peaking at 3,199 million USD by mid-2022. Subsequently, debt showed a gradual decline and stabilization around the 2,200 to 3,000 million USD range during late 2022 through mid-2024. In the most recent periods, a notable increase was observed again, reaching 4,731 million USD by early 2025, before decreasing somewhat but remaining elevated relative to earlier years.
- Total Assets
- Total assets expanded markedly from approximately 10,000 million USD in early 2021 to over 67,000 million USD by early 2022, reflecting a substantial increase within a short timeframe. Following this surge, total assets remained relatively stable around the mid-to-high 60,000 million USD range throughout 2022 and early 2024. From mid-2024 onward, asset levels resumed growth, reaching near 77,000 million USD by the third quarter of 2025, indicating continued asset base expansion at a moderate pace.
- Debt to Assets Ratio (Including Operating Lease Liability)
- The debt-to-assets ratio demonstrated low leverage initially, consistently around 0.05 or 5% in the first year. This ratio declined briefly to approximately 0.03 during early 2022, despite the absolute increase in debt, due to the substantial growth in assets. Across subsequent quarters, the ratio fluctuated modestly between 0.03 and 0.05, reflecting generally conservative leverage relative to total assets. A temporary spike to 0.07 was noted around early 2025, coinciding with a peak in total debt, before the ratio declined again toward values near 0.05.
In summary, the data reveals a pattern of important growth in both total assets and total debt over the analyzed timeframe, with debt increases periodically outpacing asset growth leading to temporary rises in leverage. However, overall leverage levels have remained moderate, indicating a conservative capital structure in relation to asset size. The significant asset base expansion between early 2021 and early 2022 is a key point of note, followed by stabilization and further moderate growth thereafter. Fluctuations in debt and the debt-to-assets ratio highlight periods of increased borrowing and capital investment activity.

1 Q3 2025 Calculation
Financial leverage = Total assets ÷ Stockholders’ equity
= 76,891 ÷ 60,790 = 1.26
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
- Total Assets
-
Total assets exhibited a steady increase between the first quarter of 2021 and the end of 2021, rising from approximately $10 billion to over $12 billion. A significant increase occurred in the first quarter of 2022 when total assets surged dramatically to over $66 billion. Following this substantial jump, total assets remained relatively stable through 2022 and the first quarter of 2023, fluctuating modestly around the $67 billion mark.
From the second quarter of 2023 onward, total assets showed a gradual upward trend, reaching nearly $77 billion by the third quarter of 2025. The general pattern suggests a phase of rapid expansion followed by consolidation and moderate growth.
- Stockholders' Equity
-
Stockholders’ equity moved in a pattern similar to total assets, initially increasing from about $6.5 billion in early 2021 to roughly $7.5 billion by the end of that year. A dramatic rise occurred in the first quarter of 2022, with equity jumping to over $55 billion, indicating significant equity infusion or revaluation events.
Equity values stayed relatively stable through the end of 2023, fluctuating slightly but consistently staying above $54 billion. From early 2024 forward, stockholders’ equity slowly increased, reaching nearly $61 billion by the third quarter of 2025. This indicates sustained retained earnings or further equity injections over the period.
- Financial Leverage
-
Financial leverage, defined as the ratio of total assets to stockholders’ equity, showed a decline from around 1.55 in the first quarter of 2021 down to about 1.21 by the beginning of 2022. This decrease coincided with the significant increase in equity relative to total assets, suggesting a reduction in reliance on debt financing during this period.
Through 2022 and into early 2024, financial leverage remained fairly stable, hovering between 1.20 and 1.24, indicating consistent capital structure management. A slight uptick was observed starting in early 2024, with the ratio gradually rising to about 1.26 by the third quarter of 2025, which may reflect increased use of debt or other liabilities relative to equity over this latter period.

- Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT)
- The EBIT exhibited a generally positive trend from early 2021 through the end of 2021, rising from 653 million USD to a peak of 1,211 million USD in December 2021. However, a sharp decline occurred in 2022, with EBIT falling from 912 million USD in March 2022 to negative figures by September 2022 (-38 million USD), continuing negative in December 2022 (-114 million USD) and remaining weak through early 2023. From April 2023 onward, EBIT showed recovery and growth with fluctuations, reaching a significant peak again in September 2025 at 1,362 million USD. The fluctuation suggests a period of operational challenges during 2022, followed by a substantial recovery and growth period.
- Interest Expense
- Interest expense generally increased from 9 million USD in March 2021 to a peak of 38 million USD in September 2025, with some fluctuations. The expense rose notably during 2021 and 2022, reaching 31 million USD by September 2022, before slightly fluctuating around the mid-to-high twenties from late 2022 through 2024. The increase in interest expense alongside a period of reduced EBIT may indicate higher borrowing or cost of debt during times of operational difficulty.
- Interest Coverage Ratio
- The interest coverage ratio was very strong in 2021, starting at 41.84 and peaking at 109.09 in December 2021, which reflects the company's robust ability to cover interest expenses from EBIT. This ratio deteriorated significantly throughout 2022, dropping to a low of 14.61 and turning negative (-2.15) in April 2023, consistent with the negative EBIT figures during that time. Recovery began modestly in mid-2023, with the ratio improving to 27.25 by September 2025. This recovery indicates a gradual restoration of operational profitability sufficient to cover interest costs with increasing margin.
- Overall Analysis
- The data shows a period of strong operational profitability in 2021, severely challenged performance in 2022 and early 2023, characterized by negative EBIT and declining interest coverage ratios, suggesting financial stress or operational setbacks. Increased interest expenses during this time may have compounded challenges. From mid-2023 onward, gradual operational recovery is evident, with improving EBIT and interest coverage ratios, culminating in a substantial positive EBIT and strong ability to service interest payments by late 2025.
