Stockopedia explains Pension Dfct / Mkt Cap

This metric is useful in determining how big a pension deficit (or surplus) is relative to the size of the sponsor company as a whole.

It does this by comparing the ratio of the pension deficit relative to the market capitalisation of the sponsor company. A company with a pension deficit that makes up a significant proportion of it's market cap is more likely to experience financial diffculty than one for which the pension deficit only makes up a small proportion of its market cap.
