Deep Analysis

The Debt-to-Equity Ratio measures a company’s total debt relative to its shareholders’ equity.

A negative value like -7.84x means shareholders’ equity is negative, indicating liabilities exceed assets on the balance sheet. This ratio sits far below the sector median of 0.47x and lands at the 0th percentile among sector peers, making it the worst in the group. The year-over-year change is not available, but the quarter-over-quarter change is a drop of -605.8% from the prior value of 1.55x—a sharp move from positive to deeply negative equity. The combination of an already extreme negative level and a steep quarterly deterioration points to a high-risk financial structure where the company carries more debt than its total net worth. This metric directly supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict, as negative equity and a worsening trend signal potential insolvency risk.
