Debt-to-Equity Ratio

The debt-to-equity ratio measures how much a company relies on borrowed money versus shareholder funds to finance its operations; a higher ratio means more debt relative to equity.

Amcor’s current ratio of 1.43x is well above the consumer cyclical sector median of 0.74x, placing it in the 74th percentile among peers, indicating higher leverage than most competitors. Trend data is not available: both the year-over-year change and quarter-over-quarter change are listed as “N/A,” and no historical values beyond the current reading exist for the last eight quarters. This combination of a high relative debt level with no observable trend leaves investors unable to assess whether leverage is increasing or decreasing, creating uncertainty. For risk, the elevated ratio suggests greater financial risk if earnings falter, but without trend direction, the opportunity for improvement or deterioration is unclear. The metric’s implied higher risk and lack of trend data do not contradict the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as the ratio neither strongly supports a bullish nor bearish case on its own.
