Debt-to-Equity Ratio

Salesforce’s current Debt-to-Equity Ratio of 1.22x means the company uses $1.22 in debt for every $1 of shareholder equity—a measure of financial leverage.

This is well above the sector median of 0.27x and places it in the 83rd percentile among technology peers, indicating a higher reliance on borrowed funds than most competitors. Because the year-over-year change, quarter-over-quarter change, and trend over the last eight quarters are all listed as N/A, no directional shift in leverage is available to assess. The combination of a high leverage level relative to the sector and the absence of trend data suggests investors should weigh the risk of higher debt exposure against any potential growth benefits, but without a trend they cannot tell if the company is increasing or reducing that risk. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict because the elevated Debt-to-Equity Ratio signals caution, yet lacks the trend information needed to confirm a stronger bearish or bullish case.
