Deep Analysis
Debt-to-equity ratio measures how much a company relies on borrowed money versus shareholder funds.
At 0.00x, FSLR holds no debt relative to its equity, indicating a very conservative balance sheet with low financial leverage. Its sector peers have a median of 0.74x, and FSLR sits at the 7th percentile, meaning it has far less debt than most comparable companies. The 8-quarter trend direction is listed as N/A, the year-over-year change is N/A, and the quarter-over-quarter change is -100.0%, moving from a prior value of 0.04x down to the current 0.00x. The combination of an extremely low debt level and a recent decline to zero suggests a lower risk of financial distress, but also offers little indication of growth or expansion funded by borrowing. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict because low leverage reduces downside risk without pointing to a clear upside opportunity.
