Debt-to-Equity Ratio

Abercrombie & Fitch's debt-to-equity ratio of 0.96x means the company has roughly $0.96 of debt for every $1.00 of shareholders' equity—a measure of how much the business is financed by borrowing versus its own money.

Compared to its Consumer Cyclical sector peers, this ratio is above the sector median of 0.74x, placing ANF in the 56th percentile (meaning it has higher leverage than 56% of comparable companies). No year-over-year or quarter-over-quarter changes are available, and there is no trend data from the last eight quarters, so the direction of this metric cannot be assessed. The combination of a moderately elevated debt level (above the median) with no trend information makes it unclear whether leverage is improving or deteriorating, leaving the risk profile neutral for now. This metric neither reinforces nor contradicts the overall NEUTRAL verdict—it simply indicates that ANF carries more debt than many peers, but without a visible trend, no strong case for either opportunity or concern emerges.
