As of Dec 31, 2021, BankUnited had total debt worth $2.8 billion, higher than its cash and cash equivalent balance of $314.9 million. Yet, its times-interest-earned ratio of 5.7 and total debt/total capital of 38.5% at the end of 2021 reflect improvements. Supported by its earnings strength and a solid balance sheet, BankUnited is expected to continue with efficient capital deployment activities. Through this, it will keep enhancing shareholder value. Over the past six months, shares of BKU have lost 1.1% compared with a 6.2% decline of the industry it belongs to.
