Deep Analysis
A debt-to-equity ratio shows how much a company relies on borrowed money versus shareholder funds; at 2.55x, JBL has $2.55 of debt for every $1 of equity.
That is well above its sector median of 0.74x, placing the company in the 91st percentile among peers, meaning most comparable firms carry far less leverage. The trend is not available: both the year-over-year change and quarter-over-quarter change are reported as N/A, so no direction can be inferred from the historical data provided. The combination of a high current leverage level with no observable trend leaves the risk profile elevated but uncertain—investors cannot tell whether debt is climbing or easing. This metric directly supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict, as the 2.55x reading signals higher financial risk than the typical sector peer.
