Deep Analysis

A debt-to-equity ratio of 1.10x means the company uses $1.10 of debt for every $1.00 of shareholder equity — a measure of how much leverage it carries.

Versus sector peers, this is higher than the sector median of 0.74x, placing the stock in the 67th percentile, so it carries more debt than most peers. The metric’s year-over-year change is N/A, and the quarter-over-quarter change is -11.3%, moving from 1.24x to 1.10x; the 8-quarter trend direction is also N/A. A level above the median indicates elevated financial risk, but the recent decline in leverage reduces that pressure. This combination — debt above peers yet falling — creates a moderate risk profile, not a clear red flag, and no immediate opportunity from deleveraging. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict because the higher-than-average debt is offset by improving direction, leaving the stock balanced between caution and stability.
