Deep Analysis
A Debt-to-Equity Ratio of 1.84x means ES uses $1.84 of debt for every $1 of shareholder equity, indicating a higher reliance on borrowed funds.
This compares unfavorably to the sector median of 0.74x, placing the company in the 84th percentile of peers, or more indebted than about 84% of them. No trend data is available: the year-over-year change is N/A, the quarter-over-quarter change is N/A, and the last 8 quarters show no recorded direction. The elevated debt level alone signals added financial risk, but without a trend, there is no evidence that leverage is rising or falling. The metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict because the high ratio suggests higher risk, yet the lack of a clear trend prevents a more bearish or bullish tilt.
