  • Abstract:
  • This study uses the Merton model to compare the credit spreads for three companies: Hindustan Aeronautics (HA), Eicher Motors (EM), and Adan Enterprises (AE). We use the balance sheets recorded from Ticker data from March 2018 to March 2022. We start by calculating the debt to asset leverage ratios of the three companies and use the ratios to compare their credit spreads. Results indicates that, EM is a low leverage company with 0.41 ratio, HA a medium leverage company with 0.67 ratio and AE a high leverage company with 0.96 ratio.
