Debt-to-Equity Ratio

GEN carries a Debt-to-Equity ratio of 3.14x, meaning for every dollar of shareholder equity, the company owes $3.14 in debt — a common measure of financial leverage.

This is far above the sector median of 0.73x, placing GEN in the 93rd percentile among its peers, indicating it is more heavily indebted than 93% of comparable companies. The ratio has been stable over the last eight quarters, with a quarter-over-quarter change of -0.6% (from 3.16x to 3.14x) and no year-over-year figure available. While the high level signals elevated risk from debt obligations, the stable trend means leverage is not increasing, offering some reassurance. This combination — a high but steady debt load — implies that the stock carries above-average financial risk without a clear near-term deterioration. As such, the metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict, since the high ratio is a concern but the lack of worsening prevents a bearish call.
