Deep Analysis
A debt-to-equity ratio compares a company's total liabilities to shareholder equity, and CME's 0.13x means it carries $0.13 of debt for every $1 of equity.
This is far below the sector median of 0.73x, placing CME in the 14th percentile among peers, indicating a lighter debt load than most comparable firms. The trend is not available, as the year-over-year change is N/A and the quarter-over-quarter change is N/A, with only the current value of 0.13x reported. A low ratio combined with no trend data limits the ability to assess whether leverage is rising or falling, reducing signal for future risk. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict by confirming a stable balance sheet without adding an edge to the stock's case.
