Debt-to-Equity Ratio

Sony’s current Debt-to-Equity (D/E) ratio of 0.21x means the company uses relatively little debt compared to shareholders’ equity — a measure of financial leverage often used to assess risk.

Against sector peers in Technology, this 0.21x sits below the sector median of 0.27x, placing Sony in the 43rd percentile (i.e., 57% of peers have higher leverage). No trend data is available: the year-over-year change is N/A, the quarter-over-quarter change is N/A, and historical values for the last eight quarters are also N/A. Because no trend exists, the combination of a low absolute level (0.21x) and the absence of trend direction implies a conservative financial position with limited near-term risk, but also no insight into whether leverage is increasing or decreasing. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict: a low D/E ratio indicates lower default risk but does not, on its own, justify an upgrade or downgrade without trend or earnings context.
