Deep Analysis
A Debt-to-Equity Ratio of 0.98x means COTY has almost as much debt as shareholder equity, showing a moderate reliance on borrowed funds.
For comparison, the sector median is 0.61x, placing COTY at the 82nd percentile among peers—higher debt than most. The trend is N/A: the year-over-year change is N/A, the quarter-over-quarter change is N/A, and the last 8 quarters show no data. With no trend available and a leverage level above the sector norm, the investment risk is elevated relative to peers, though the lack of direction prevents assessing whether conditions are improving or worsening. This metric supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict, as the higher-than-median debt ratio leaves less financial flexibility.
