Deep Analysis
Apollo Global Management’s current Debt-to-Equity Ratio of 0.71x means the company uses 71 cents of debt for every dollar of shareholder equity—a measure of how much the company relies on borrowing to fund its operations.
Compared to sector peers, this is above the Financial Services median of 0.62x, placing Apollo in the 61st percentile among those peers. The year-over-year change is not available, the quarter-over-quarter change is not available, and no trend data exists for the last eight quarters, so the direction of the metric cannot be assessed. Without a trend, the combination of a slightly above-median leverage level implies a moderate use of debt relative to the sector, but the lack of historical context leaves the risk or opportunity unclear. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict on the stock: the Debt-to-Equity Ratio is not extreme, and with no trend to suggest improvement or deterioration, it does not push the assessment toward bullish or bearish.
