Deep Analysis

ED's current Debt-to-Equity ratio of 1.04x means that for every dollar of shareholders' equity, the company carries $1.04 in debt, indicating a balanced but slightly leveraged capital structure.

This level sits above the sector median of 0.73x, placing ED at the 65th percentile among its peers—meaning it uses more debt relative to equity than about 65% of comparable companies. The year-over-year change is not available, but the quarter-over-quarter change shows a 1.9% decrease, from 1.06x to the current 1.04x. The combination of an above-median debt ratio with a declining trend suggests that while leverage is higher than peers, the company is actively reducing its reliance on debt, which can moderate financial risk over time. This profile neither confirms nor contradicts the overall NEUTRAL verdict—the elevated relative debt is balanced by the recent improvement, resulting in a mixed but stable risk picture.
