Debt-to-Equity Ratio

The Debt-to-Equity Ratio measures how much debt a company uses relative to its shareholders' equity; a ratio of 1.39x means PARA has $1.39 of debt for every $1 of equity, indicating a moderate reliance on borrowing.

This is above the sector median of 0.75x, and PARA ranks in the 73rd percentile among its sector peers — meaning it carries more debt than roughly three-quarters of comparable companies. No trend data is available: the year-over-year change, quarter-over-quarter change, and historical values are all reported as N/A, so there is no information on whether leverage is increasing or decreasing. The combination of a relatively high debt level with no trend data introduces uncertainty: the elevated ratio suggests higher financial risk than the sector average, but without a direction, investors cannot assess if risk is building or easing. This metric does not directly contradict the overall NEUTRAL verdict, but it does lean toward a cautious interpretation, as the above-median leverage could pressure returns if earnings falter.
