For the strategy I base on Peter Lynch’s writings, the debt-to-equity ratio is a quick way to determine the financial strength of a company. When debt is less than 10% of equity, that’s considered excellent; between 10% and 29%, acceptable; 30% and 49%, normal; 50% and 79%, mediocre; and 80% or more, bad (though with some industries, such as utilities, this high level of debt is acceptable). Among the companies the Lynch strategy currently likes, in part because their debt level is acceptable: Louisiana-Pacific (nyse: LPX - news - people ), Foundry Networks (nasdaq: FDRY - news - people ) and BP (nyse: BP - news - people ).
