Deep Analysis

The debt-to-equity ratio measures a company's total liabilities relative to its shareholder equity, so KIM’s 0.85x means it carries $0.85 of debt for every $1.00 of equity.

This sits above the sector median of 0.73x, placing KIM at the 57th percentile among peers, indicating slightly higher leverage than half the field. The year-over-year change is N/A, but the quarter-over-quarter change is +7.6%, with the ratio rising from 0.79x to 0.85x over the latest reported periods. Since the level is only modestly above peers and the increase is recent, the higher leverage introduces some added risk, but it remains within a conventional range. The combination of a near-median level and a mild upward drift does not point to a clear upside or downside. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as it neither signals excessive strain nor a strong deleveraging opportunity.
