Deep Analysis
The Debt-to-Equity ratio of 13.13x means that for every dollar of shareholder equity, LVS carries $13.13 in debt, indicating heavy reliance on borrowed funds.
The sector median is 0.73x, placing LVS in the 99th percentile among peers, far above typical leverage levels. The year-over-year change is not available, and the quarter-over-quarter change shows a 0.2% increase, from 13.10x to 13.13x. A very high ratio combined with a slight quarterly rise suggests elevated financial risk, as the company has limited equity cushion relative to debt, though the trend is nearly flat. This metric supports the NEUTRAL verdict by highlighting a clear risk factor, but the lack of a sharp upward movement means it does not alone justify a bearish stance.
