Capital Allocation

What is Debt Issued?

Cash raised from new borrowings during the period.

How it is calculated

Proceeds from issuance of debt from the cash flow statement.

How to read it

Borrowing to fund buybacks or dividends is a very different signal from borrowing to build capacity.

Where the numbers come from

Scrutar computes Debt Issued from the figures each company reports to the SEC in its annual and quarterly filings, using the XBRL data attached to those filings.
