Deep Analysis
A Debt-to-Equity Ratio of 2.85x means the company uses $2.85 of debt for every $1 of shareholder equity, indicating a heavy reliance on borrowed funds to finance operations.
This is far above the sector median of 0.26x, placing the firm in the 97th percentile among technology peers. The trend information is not available: year-over-year change is N/A and quarter-over-quarter change is N/A, so no direction can be determined from this metric. The combination of a very high current level with no trend data implies that the existing leverage is a clear risk factor, but whether that risk is growing or shrinking remains unknown. Because higher debt raises the chance of financial distress, this metric directly supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict on the stock.
