Deep Analysis
The debt-to-equity ratio measures how much debt a company uses to finance its assets relative to shareholders' equity; EXC's 1.77x means it has $1.77 of debt for every $1 of equity, indicating substantial reliance on borrowed funds.
This is well above the sector median of 0.74x, placing EXC in the 81st percentile among peers, so leverage is much higher than typical competitors. The year-over-year change is not available, but the quarter-over-quarter change is +1.1%, with historical values moving from 1.75x to 1.77x; the 8-quarter trend direction is also not available, so only a modest recent rise is confirmed. The combination of a high debt level and a slight upward move implies added financial risk, though no sharp deterioration is evident. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict: elevated leverage is a cautionary factor, but the limited rate of change does not push the stock to a bearish call.
