Debt-to-Equity Ratio

PCG’s Debt-to-Equity Ratio of 1.88x means the company uses $1.88 in debt for every $1.00 of shareholder equity — a measure of financial leverage.

This ratio sits above the sector median of 1.47x, placing PCG in the 91st percentile among its Utility peers, indicating higher reliance on debt than most comparable companies. Trend data is not available: the year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter changes are both listed as N/A, and no historical values beyond the current figure are provided. Without a trend, the elevated level alone suggests that PCG carries above-average financial risk compared to sector norms, which could mean higher volatility in earnings or greater sensitivity to interest rate changes. For an investor, the high leverage points to a potential risk, but the absence of a directional trend leaves uncertainty about whether the company is deleveraging or adding more debt. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict because the elevated leverage is a cautionary factor, yet it is not accompanied by deteriorating or improving signals that would tilt the view toward bullish or bearish.
