Debt-to-Equity Ratio

The Debt-to-Equity Ratio measures a company’s total debt against its shareholders’ equity; a negative value, like -14.08x, means equity is negative because liabilities exceed total assets.

This ratio places IRM at the 2nd percentile among sector peers, far below the sector median of 0.73x, indicating that virtually all peers have far less negative or positive leverage. The year-over-year, quarter-over-quarter, and eight-quarter trend data are all listed as N/A, so no directional insight is available from changes in the metric. A negative debt-to-equity ratio combined with no trend information signals elevated financial risk, as negative equity often points to accumulated losses or aggressive debt use, but without a trend it is unclear if the situation is improving or worsening. This metric contradicts the overall NEUTRAL verdict, because a -14.08x reading is an outlier that typically warrants a cautious or bearish assessment rather than a neutral stance.
