I was talking with a friend yesterday. We looked at the Air Asia P/L and Balance Sheet.
The P/L looks good, but in the balance sheet there is about 0.8 Debt/Asset Ratio. I do not think that is really healthy.
Basically it means out of every $1, 80 sen will need to pay the debtors. Only 20 sen is for shareholders.
Debt yield lower than equity... The P/L looks good, but in the balance sheet there is about 0.8 Debt/Asset Ratio. I do not think that is really healthy.

More appropriate words should be:
for every 20 sen capital shareholders fork out,
debt holders fork out 80 sen
But I agreed with you, the gearing is higher than it should be, a capital call will be justified for that (I think initially they want to use cash flow from operation to pale down the debt, but that's not working very well under the economy condition now, maybe the CEO is big fan of M&M
