I'm reading the Intelligent Investor and I found this:

  1. Stock/Equity Ratio. This is the ratio of the market price of the junior stock issues* to the total face amount of the debt, or the debt plus preferred stock. It is a rough measure of the protection, or “cushion,” afforded by the presence of a junior investment that must first bear the brunt of unfavorable developments. This factor includes the market’s appraisal of the future prospects of the enterprise.

But then I googled "stock/equity ratio" and can't find anything. Is there another name for this ratio? Do you know this ratio?

The Intelligent Investor was written 73 years ago. Times have changed and the modern equivalent ratio is debt-to-equity ratio.

It is essentially 1/(Stock Equity Ratio).
