Debt-to-Equity Ratio

EVRG’s debt-to-equity ratio of 1.56x means the company uses $1.56 of debt financing for every $1 of shareholder equity, indicating a moderate reliance on borrowing relative to its own capital.

This is above the sector median of 0.73x, placing EVRG in the 80th percentile among its peers, meaning it carries more debt than most comparable companies. The trend data is unavailable: the year-over-year change, quarter-over-quarter change, and last eight quarters of values are all reported as “N/A.” Without a trend to assess direction, the high current debt level alone suggests elevated financial risk compared to the sector, but the absence of movement cannot confirm whether leverage is increasing or improving. The lack of trend data also limits the ability to identify a clear opportunity for improvement or deterioration. This metric partially supports the NEUTRAL verdict: the higher-than-median debt is a cautionary signal, but the static data prevents it from being a decisive factor for downgrading or upgrading the stock.
