Debt-to-Equity Ratio

The debt-to-equity ratio compares a company’s total liabilities to its shareholders’ equity, showing how much debt it uses to fund operations.

Salesforce’s current ratio of 0.29x means it uses $0.29 of debt for every $1 of equity, indicating conservative leverage. This sits slightly above the Technology sector median of 0.27x and places Salesforce in the 54th percentile among peers, meaning about half of competitors have lower debt levels. The ratio has been perfectly stable for the last eight quarters, with a year-over-year change of +0.0% and a quarter-over-quarter change of +0.0%, reflecting no shift in the company’s capital structure. The combination of a low, steady debt level points to minimal financial risk and consistent funding stability, which is generally favorable for long-term investment. This metric directly supports the overall BULLISH verdict on Salesforce, as a low and stable debt-to-equity ratio reduces bankruptcy risk and frees up cash flow for growth initiatives.
