Deep Analysis
The Debt-to-Equity (D/E) ratio measures how much debt a company uses to finance its assets relative to shareholders’ equity.
HBAN’s current D/E ratio of 0.72x means the company has $0.72 of debt for every $1 of equity—a moderate leverage level. Compared to sector peers, HBAN’s ratio sits at the 49th percentile, nearly matching the sector median of 0.73x, indicating it is neither unusually high nor low within its industry. For trend data, the year-over-year change is N/A, the quarter-over-quarter change is N/A, and the trend over the last eight quarters is also N/A, offering no directional insight. Since the current level is near the sector median with no available trend, the combination implies a neutral risk profile—leverage is in line with peers but lacks a trajectory to suggest improvement or deterioration. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as the ratio provides neither a clear positive nor negative signal for investment risk or opportunity.
