Debt-to-Equity Ratio

The debt-to-equity ratio measures a company's total debt relative to its shareholders' equity; a negative value of -14.07x means DVA has more liabilities than assets, resulting in negative equity.

This compares unfavorably to the sector median of 0.74x, placing DVA in the 2nd percentile among its peers, meaning only 2% of sector companies have a lower (more negative) ratio. Trend data is not available: both the year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter changes are labeled N/A, and no historical values beyond the current figure are provided. The combination of an extremely negative debt-to-equity level with no trend information signals potential financial distress but offers no indication of improvement or deterioration. This metric contradicts the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as the negative equity position typically implies higher financial risk than a neutral rating would suggest.
