Debt-to-Equity Ratio

The debt-to-equity ratio measures how much a company relies on borrowed money versus shareholder funds to finance its operations; a ratio of 1.16x means RSG has $1.16 in debt for every $1 of equity.

This is above the sector median of 0.72x, placing RSG in the 74th percentile among its Industrials peers, indicating it uses more leverage than most comparable companies. No year-over-year or quarter-over-quarter change is available, so the trend direction is not reported. Without a trend, the assessment relies solely on the current elevated leverage level relative to peers, which suggests higher financial risk and potentially greater vulnerability to rising interest rates or economic downturns. This elevated ratio contradicts the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as a higher debt load typically increases risk and would warrant a more cautious view.
