Debt-to-Equity Ratio

CFG's debt-to-equity ratio of 0.47x means that for every dollar of shareholder equity, the company has 47 cents of debt, indicating a conservative use of leverage relative to its equity base.

This ratio places CFG below the sector median of 0.73x, sitting at the 34th percentile among peers — meaning roughly two-thirds of its sector carry higher debt loads. Because the year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter changes are both listed as N/A, and no trend data is available for the last eight quarters, there is no basis to evaluate whether the company's leverage is increasing or decreasing over time. The combination of a low debt level with no observable trend suggests a currently prudent capital structure, but the lack of directional information limits any assessment of risk or opportunity from this metric alone. This metric does not contradict the overall NEUTRAL verdict: a low debt ratio is generally favorable but does not, by itself, justify a bullish or bearish stance, especially without trend context.
