Deep Analysis
The Debt-to-Equity ratio measures how much a company relies on borrowed money versus shareholder funds; TEL's current 0.43x indicates it uses relatively low debt compared to equity.
This ratio sits below the sector median of 0.75x, placing TEL in the 31st percentile among peers—meaning 69% of comparable companies carry higher debt levels. No trend data is available: the year-over-year change, quarter-over-quarter change, and last eight quarters are all reported as N/A, so there is no direction to assess. The combination of a low debt level with no trend information makes the metric a neutral signal—it limits financial risk but offers no clues about recent shifts. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict by showing conservative leverage without any positive or negative momentum, aligning with a balanced view on the stock.
