High Leverage & Negative EquityPersistently high debt-to-equity and periods of negative equity are structural risks for an infrastructure operator. They increase interest burden, constrain capital allocation to new projects, raise refinancing and covenant breach likelihood, and amplify downside in stress scenarios.

This variability complicates long-term planning, increases the cost of capital for new projects, and stresses debt-service coverage in weaker cycles.
Historic EPS ContractionA large negative EPS growth figure reflects prior earnings instability and may signal sensitivity to commodity, demand or operational shocks. Even with recent recovery, such historical volatility raises uncertainty about sustaining profits and funding long-term investments.
