VFC. It looks like you and maybe Harshu Vyas have zeroed in on VFC's debt: it's a lot and with higher interest rates that must be dealt with in this or coming years. Company's total debt has really gone up a lot over past few years. Refinancing any/all will be at much higher rates than the company now pays.

Have you guys also taken into account cash flow from operations or maybe some other metric, to see if the current business could service the increase in debt payments, onerous as they might be?

Yahoo shows total debt at $7.6B with operating cash flow at $1.3B. With those numbers, it looks to me like the ltd should be serviceable. But I don't know exactly what those numbers entail, and my brain cells for making a proper evaluation have diminished with age.
