Debt-to-Equity Ratio

A company's debt-to-equity ratio compares its total liabilities to shareholders' equity, indicating how much debt it uses to fund operations relative to its own capital.

At 1.24x, J carries more debt than the sector median of 0.73x, placing it in the 73rd percentile among peers — meaning 73% of its competitors have lower leverage. The year-over-year change is not available, but the ratio decreased 10.1% quarter-over-quarter, and only two data points are reported: the current 1.24x and the prior 1.38x. Although the debt level is above the sector norm, the recent downward trend suggests J is reducing its reliance on borrowing. This combination — a still-high ratio that is moving in a favorable direction — implies moderate risk: leverage is elevated but improving, which could reduce financial strain if the trend continues. The metric neither strongly supports nor contradicts the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as the above-average leverage is offset by the improving trajectory, keeping the outlook balanced.
