Deep Analysis

The Debt-to-Equity ratio shows how much debt a company uses relative to its shareholder equity; a value of 1.10x means it holds $1.10 of debt for every $1.00 of equity.

That is above the sector median of 0.74x, placing HSIC in the 67th percentile among peers—so the company carries more leverage than two-thirds of its sector. Trend data is limited: the year-over-year change is N/A, but the quarter-over-quarter increase is +5.8%, moving from 1.04x to 1.10x. This combination of a higher-than-median level and a rising quarterly trend suggests growing financial risk from added debt, though the absolute level is not extreme. For investors, this leverage could amplify returns if the borrowed funds generate growth, but it also raises vulnerability if earnings weaken. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict: it points to neither a clear safety margin nor imminent stress, leaving the stock balanced.
