Debt-to-Equity Ratio

FTV’s debt-to-equity ratio of 0.57x means the company uses $0.57 of debt for every $1.00 of shareholder equity—a measure of financial leverage that shows how much the business relies on borrowed money.

This is below the sector median of 0.73x, placing FTV in the 40th percentile among its peers, indicating it carries less debt relative to equity than the typical sector company. Trend data is not available: the year-over-year change is N/A and the quarter-over-quarter change is N/A, so no direction can be inferred from recent movements. The combination of a below-median debt level with no trend information suggests a conservative capital structure that poses limited default risk, but also offers no clear signal of improving or worsening leverage. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict because the ratio is neither alarmingly high nor exceptionally low—leaving the stock without a strong bullish or bearish catalyst from this financial measure alone.
