Minerals Technologies Inc. carries $964.9M in total debt against $346.2M in cash reserves — debt is roughly 2.8x the cash position. Managing this leverage effectively will be important for long-term financial stability. Free cash flow comes in at $392.8M, providing flexibility for reinvestment, buybacks, or dividends.
