Re: Debt. ---

According to Investopedia, using total capital gives a more accurate picture of the company's health because it frames debt as a percentage of capital rather than as a dollar amount. Therefore I prefer to use debt/capital to understand a company's financial health in conjunction with its S&P rating.


WPC has a debt/capital rating of 48% which isn't bad for a REIT. In addition to that, S&P assigns and investment grade rating to WPC.


If one prefers to use debt/equity, then it does look like WPC has a lot of debt and if that's a concern to them, they may not wish to invest in them.
