Debt-to-Equity Ratio

Coty's debt-to-equity ratio of 0.98x means the company uses almost as much debt as shareholder equity to finance its operations — a measure of financial leverage.

This is above the consumer defensive sector median of 0.70x, placing Coty in the 83rd percentile among peers, indicating higher leverage than most comparable companies. Trend data is unavailable because year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter changes are both reported as N/A, so no directional insight can be drawn from recent history. The combination of an above-median level and no trend information suggests that the current leverage is elevated relative to peers, which could increase financial risk if earnings weaken, but without a trend, the risk is not clearly increasing or decreasing. This metric does not directly support a bullish or bearish case, and instead aligns with the overall NEUTRAL verdict — the higher leverage is a cautionary factor, but without trend data it does not tip the balance decisively.
