Deep Analysis
The Debt-to-Equity Ratio of 1.13x means that for every dollar of shareholders' equity, the company has $1.13 in debt—a measure of how much it relies on borrowing to fund operations.
This is above the sector median of 0.75x, placing the company in the 68th percentile among its peers, indicating a higher reliance on debt than most competitors. No year-over-year or quarter-over-quarter change data is available, and no trend from the last eight quarters can be assessed, leaving the direction of this metric unknown. The combination of a debt level above the sector median with no observable trend suggests a moderate leverage position that neither adds clear risk nor opportunity at present. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as the elevated ratio is not extreme and the absence of trend data does not contradict a balanced outlook.
