If I use Yahoo! Finance, will I be able to find out what they capital structures and levels of leverage for Uber and Lyft on there? If it is not through yahoo Finance would it be a formula used to find the capital structures and leverage for the companies, Uber and Lyft? What is the process of finding the capital structure for Lyft and Uber?

Original Question: Using the CapIQ database, review the capital structures and levels of leverage for both companies. Also, review income statements and balance sheets for the past three years to determine trends for both firms (common size financial statements will help you with this review).

Capital structure essentially means the split of shareholder's equity and long term debt, taken by the company to finance its operations. You can find it very easily using the balance sheet information for a company.

Yahoo Finance provides this information for 2 years ( including current year) and for more historical data, you need to buy their premium plans to access the information. For example, if you go to the Uber's balance sheet info on Yahoo Finance at https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/UBER/balance-sheet?p=UBER, you will find the following capital structure for Uber :

Shareholder's equity : USD 10,333,000,000
Long term debt (please note only long term debt is to be considered in capital structure) : USD 6,346,000,000
(including both long term debt and other long term liabilities i.e 4,535,000 + 1,811,000)

Similarly, if you go to the Lyft's balance sheet info on Yahoo Finance at https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/LYFT/balance-sheet?p=LYFT you will find the following capital structure for Lyft:

Shareholder's equity : USD 1,832,363,000
Long term debt : USD 30,458,000

Hope this helps !
