Debt-to-Equity Ratio

The Debt-to-Equity (D/E) ratio compares a company’s total liabilities to its shareholders’ equity—a reading of 3.09x means the company carries $3.09 in debt for every $1 of equity, indicating heavy reliance on borrowed funds.

Among its sector peers, the median D/E is only 0.73x, and this company sits at the 93rd percentile, meaning it has far more leverage than 93% of similar firms. Trend data is not available: the year-over-year change is listed as N/A, and the quarter-over-quarter change is also N/A, so no direction can be inferred. The combination of a very high current ratio (relative to peers) with no trend information suggests elevated financial risk, as high leverage could strain cash flows if earnings decline, but there is no evidence of improvement or deterioration. This metric contradicts the overall NEUTRAL verdict, because a D/E ratio far above the sector norm typically signals higher risk, which would normally tilt a view toward caution rather than neutrality.
