Debt-to-Equity Ratio

The debt-to-equity ratio measures how much a company relies on debt versus shareholders' equity to finance its assets; a ratio of 0.84x means BKR uses $0.84 of debt for every $1.00 of equity, indicating a moderate leverage level.

BKR’s current 0.84x sits above the Energy sector median of 0.74x and places it in the 55th percentile among peers, meaning about 55% of sector companies carry lower debt relative to their equity. The year-over-year change is not available (N/A), and the quarter-over-quarter change is also N/A, so no directional trend can be determined from the data provided. Because the ratio is moderately above the sector midpoint but still below 1.0x, it suggests a manageable debt load, yet the absence of trend data makes it impossible to assess whether leverage is rising or falling. This metric alone neither confirms nor contradicts the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as the lack of a trend dimension limits its signal, while the moderate level is consistent with a balanced risk profile.
