Deep Analysis
The debt-to-equity ratio measures how much debt a company uses relative to its shareholders' equity; a negative value of -4.04x means liabilities exceed equity, often due to accumulated losses or large share buybacks.
This places MAR at the 4th percentile among sector peers, far below the sector median of 0.73x, indicating it carries much more financial leverage than the typical peer. Year-over-year change is not available, but quarter-over-quarter the ratio improved by +23.2%, moving from -5.26x to -4.04x. The combination of a deeply negative ratio with a trend toward less negative territory still leaves the company in a precarious position relative to its sector. This metric supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict because the negative equity base signals elevated financial risk and limited buffer for creditors.
