Deep Analysis
A Debt-to-Equity Ratio of 1.32x means the company carries $1.32 of debt for every $1 of shareholder equity, showing how much leverage it uses to fund operations.
This is above the sector median of 0.74x, placing it in the 73rd percentile among sector peers, so it holds more debt than most comparable companies. The trend is not available: both the year-over-year change and quarter-over-quarter change are listed as N/A, so there is no direction to assess. Without trend data, the elevated level alone signals a higher financial risk relative to peers, but it is not enough to forecast improving or deteriorating conditions. The combination of a high debt load and unknown trajectory leaves limited opportunity for confident positive or negative calls. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict because the leverage is above average but not extreme enough to override other factors, and the lack of trend data prevents a stronger stance.
