Deep Analysis
Carrier's Debt-to-Equity Ratio of 0.90x means the company uses $0.90 of debt for every $1.00 of shareholders' equity, indicating a moderate reliance on borrowing.
This ratio sits above the Industrials sector median of 0.79x, placing Carrier in the 57th percentile among peers, so it carries more leverage than typical. The trend over the last eight quarters is stable, with no year-over-year change available and a quarter-over-quarter decline of -3.2%, showing a slight recent reduction in debt relative to equity. Because the current level is above the sector median but the trend is stable and edging lower, the risk from leverage is present but not escalating, offering a mixed risk profile. This metric supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict, as above-median debt levels warrant caution even though the stable trend does not signal immediate deterioration.
