Debt-to-Equity Ratio

The Debt-to-Equity Ratio compares a company's total liabilities to its shareholders' equity, measuring how much debt it uses to finance its operations.

CTSH currently has a ratio of 0.04x, indicating very low reliance on borrowing relative to its own funds. This is well below the sector median of 0.75x and places the company in the 11th percentile among its peers, meaning it uses less debt than nearly 90% of comparable firms. Trend data is not available — the year-over-year change and quarter-over-quarter change are both listed as N/A, and no historical values beyond the current figure were provided. Without a trend, the extremely low debt level alone suggests minimal financial risk from leverage, but also offers no insight into whether the company is increasing or decreasing its debt usage. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict: while the low debt is a defensive positive, the lack of trend and the neutral rating indicate no strong catalyst for outperformance or concern.
