Debt-to-Equity Ratio

The Debt-to-Equity Ratio measures how much a company relies on borrowed money compared to shareholder funds.

IEX’s current ratio of 0.46x means it uses 46 cents of debt for every dollar of equity, indicating a conservative capital structure. This is below the sector median of 0.72x, placing IEX in the 33rd percentile among peers, meaning it carries less debt than two-thirds of similar companies. Trend data is not available: the year-over-year change and quarter-over-quarter change are both marked N/A, and there are no historical values beyond the most recent 0.46x. With no trend to assess, the low debt level alone points to lower financial risk relative to the sector, but it does not highlight any directional opportunity or deterioration. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as the conservative debt profile is a stable, unremarkable factor that neither elevates nor undermines the stock’s risk-reward balance.
