Deep Analysis
The Debt-to-Equity ratio of 0.85x means the company uses 85 cents of debt for every dollar of shareholder equity, indicating a moderate reliance on borrowed funds.
Compared to sector peers, the 0.85x is above the sector median of 0.73x, placing the company in the 58th percentile—higher leverage than roughly 58% of peers. Trend data is not available for the year-over-year change, quarter-over-quarter change, or over the last eight quarters, so no direction can be inferred. With debt levels slightly above the sector norm but no trend to gauge shifts, the investment risk appears neutral—neither clearly increasing nor decreasing. This combination of a moderate ratio and absent trend data supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as the metric does not signal a clear advantage or concern versus peers.
