Deep Analysis
A Debt-to-Equity Ratio of 0.67x means GLW uses $0.67 of debt for every $1 of shareholder equity, indicating a moderate reliance on borrowing to fund its operations.
This ratio sits below the sector median of 0.74x, placing GLW in the 46th percentile among peers, so its leverage is close to typical for the group. The trend is not available: the YoY change is N/A, the QoQ change is N/A, and no historical quarterly values were provided beyond the current figure. Because the leverage level is near the sector norm but there is no trend data, the risk profile is difficult to evaluate for direction, offering neither a clear reduction nor an increase in financial risk. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as the ratio is essentially in line with the sector median and provides no evidence of a material shift in leverage.
