Gray Television Inc has a moderate D/E ratio of 2.66. This balance of debt and equity financing earns a leverage score of 48/100.

Liquidity
21

Earnings Quality Mixed
-3.40x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Gray Television Inc generates $-3.40 in operating cash flow ($289.0M OCF vs -$85.0M net income). This mixed ratio suggests some earnings may rely on non-cash accounting items.
