Debt-to-Equity Ratio

A company’s debt-to-equity ratio compares total liabilities to shareholders’ equity.

A negative value like -12.86x means the company has more debt than the value of its equity, which is often a sign of financial distress or accumulated losses. This ratio is far below the sector median of 0.73x, placing CCI in the 3rd percentile among its peers — meaning only 3% of sector companies have a lower (more negative) ratio. The year-over-year change and quarter-over-quarter change are both listed as N/A, and no trend data is available for the last eight quarters, so there is no track record to assess direction. The combination of an extremely negative debt-to-equity level — indicating potential insolvency risk — with no trend information makes it difficult to gauge any improvement or deterioration, increasing uncertainty. This metric strongly contradicts a favorable outlook and directly supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict, as such a negative ratio typically signals elevated financial risk.
