Debt-to-Equity Ratio

Blackstone's current Debt-to-Equity Ratio of 1.69x means the company has $1.69 of debt for every $1 of shareholder equity, indicating a higher reliance on borrowed funds.

That ratio sits well above the Financial Services sector median of 0.63x, placing Blackstone in the 73rd percentile among peers. Because the year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter changes are both reported as "N/A," and no trend data exists for the last eight quarters, there is no observable upward or downward movement to assess. The combination of an elevated leverage level with no trend information suggests a static risk profile: the company carries more debt than most peers, but without a directional shift, the investment risk is neither increasing nor decreasing. This metric does not contradict the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as the high debt level is a risk factor but the absence of a trend prevents a clear bullish or bearish tilt.
