Debt-to-Equity Ratio

Aptiv’s debt-to-equity ratio of 1.01x means the company uses $1.01 of debt for every $1.00 of shareholders’ equity, a measure of financial leverage.

That is higher than the sector median of 0.74x, placing Aptiv in the 58th percentile among Consumer Cyclical peers — meaning it carries more debt than about 58% of comparable companies. Data on the year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter changes, as well as the eight-quarter trend, are not available (N/A). Because the direction of the ratio is unknown, the current level is the only input for risk: above-median leverage can amplify returns but also increases financial risk if earnings decline. This higher-than-average debt load does not directly contradict the overall NEUTRAL verdict, since the verdict already accounts for a balanced risk-opportunity profile. However, the lack of trend data means this metric alone does not strengthen or weaken that neutral stance.
