Deep Analysis

A debt-to-equity ratio compares a company’s total liabilities to its shareholders’ equity, so 0.49x means Rollins carries $0.49 of debt for every $1.00 of equity.

That is just above the sector median of 0.47x, placing it in the 57th percentile among Consumer Cyclical peers—slightly more leveraged than most. The trend is not available: both the year-over-year change and quarter-over-quarter change are reported as N/A, and there are no historical values beyond the current 0.49x. With a level near the median but no direction to confirm, the risk profile is moderate—neither highly leveraged nor unusually conservative. The absence of trend data limits any inference about improving or deteriorating financial risk. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict because the leverage is in line with peers and offers no clear reason to deviate from that stance.
