Debt-to-Equity Ratio

The debt-to-equity ratio measures how much a company relies on borrowed money versus its own shareholder funds; a ratio of 0.77x means IVZ has $0.77 of debt for every $1 of equity, indicating moderate leverage.

This compares closely to the sector median of 0.73x, placing IVZ at the 53rd percentile among peers—slightly above the midpoint, meaning its leverage is near typical for the sector. The year-over-year change is not available, and the quarter-over-quarter change is also not available, so no trend can be assessed from the historical data provided. Because the current ratio is near the sector median and no trend information exists, the level alone suggests a neutral risk profile with no clear directional signal for increasing or decreasing leverage. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as the ratio does not indicate excessive debt or an unusually conservative capital structure that would change the investment outlook.
