Deep Analysis
The debt-to-equity ratio measures how much debt a company uses relative to shareholders' equity, with 1.14x meaning CAG has $1.14 of debt for every $1 of equity.
This is above the sector median of 0.74x, placing CAG in the 69th percentile among peers, indicating higher leverage than most. The year-over-year change is N/A and the quarter-over-quarter change is N/A, so no trend direction over the last 8 quarters is available. Without trend data, the assessment rests solely on the current level: higher debt increases financial risk because interest payments can strain cash flows. For investors, this elevated leverage relative to peers suggests a cautious approach is warranted. This metric supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict, as the 1.14x debt-to-equity ratio indicates a heavier debt load than the typical sector company.
