Have Sirius XM’s Earnings Become More Volatile In The Last Three Years?
Sirius XM’s degree of financial leverage has increased consistently in the last three years due to an increase in interest payments owing to a rapid rise in the amount of debt raised. And a higher degree of financial leverage fosters more volatile earnings. Since interest is a fixed expense, leverage magnifies returns and EPS, which isn’t good for a company in cases when interest payments are high.
