Debt-to-Equity Ratio

The debt-to-equity ratio compares a company's total debt to its shareholders' equity, measuring how much it relies on borrowing to fund operations.

At 0.93x, CBRE has 93 cents of debt for every dollar of equity, indicating a moderate use of leverage. This ratio sits above the sector median of 0.73x, placing the company in the 62nd percentile among its peers, meaning it carries more debt than most comparable firms. No year-over-year or quarter-over-quarter change is available, and no historical trend data exists beyond the current reading. The absence of a trend combined with a leverage level only moderately above the median suggests no immediate red flag, but the higher relative debt warrants attention to future shifts in interest costs or earnings stability. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict: it does not signal excessive risk that would justify a bearish view, nor does it reflect a conservative capital structure that would prompt a bullish stance.
