Deep Analysis
At 1.05x, the company holds $1.05 of debt for every $1.00 of shareholder equity, meaning creditors have a slightly larger claim on assets than owners.
This is higher than the Industrials sector median of 0.71x, placing ROK at the 67th percentile among peers, so leverage is above typical but not extreme. The trend data is N/A, with no year-over-year change or quarter-over-quarter change available, so there is no evidence of rising or falling leverage. With a level above the median and no trend to assess, the investment risk depends on whether the debt supports operations or strains cash flow. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict: the elevated ratio adds some risk, but the absence of trend data prevents a stronger bearish or bullish call.
