Debt-to-Equity Ratio

ANSYS’s current debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio of 0.14x means that for every dollar of shareholder equity, the company carries only $0.14 in debt—a low level of financial leverage that indicates limited reliance on borrowing.

This is below the technology sector median of 0.27x, placing ANSYS in the 36th percentile among its peers, meaning most competitors have higher leverage. Trend data is not available: the year-over-year change, quarter-over-quarter change, and last eight quarters are all listed as N/A, so no directional shift can be assessed. The combination of a very low D/E level with no observable trend suggests reduced balance-sheet risk, but the absence of trend limits the ability to evaluate whether this conservative stance is stable or changing. This metric directly contradicts the overall CAUTIOUS verdict because low debt generally lowers financial risk, whereas a cautious view implies elevated concern—other factors likely drive that negative assessment.
