Debt-to-Equity Ratio

A debt-to-equity ratio of 0.51x means the company uses 51 cents of debt for every dollar of shareholders’ equity—a measure of financial leverage and risk.

This is lower than the sector median of 0.73x, placing PNR in the 37th percentile among its peers, indicating relatively conservative borrowing. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter changes are not available, and no trend data exists for the last eight quarters, so the direction of any shift is unknown. With a below-median ratio and no trend to assess, the current level suggests lower financial risk than the average sector peer, but the absence of trend information limits insight into whether leverage is increasing or decreasing. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict because the low debt level points to a conservative financial position, yet without trend context it cannot alone justify a bullish or bearish stance.
