Deep Analysis
A debt-to-equity ratio of 5.54x means Hasbro has $5.54 of debt for every $1 of shareholder equity, indicating heavy reliance on borrowed funds.
This level is far above the sector median of 0.73x, placing Hasbro in the 98th percentile among peers — only 2% of companies carry a higher ratio. The metric has been stable over the last eight quarters, with no year-over-year data available and a quarter-over-quarter decline of 7.2%. The combination of an extremely high ratio and a stable, slightly declining trend suggests elevated financial risk from leverage, though the modest QoQ reduction offers a small offset. This high debt load directly contradicts the neutral overall verdict, as it signals potential vulnerability to rising interest rates or earnings pressure.
