Debt-to-Equity Ratio

The debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio compares a company's total liabilities to its shareholders' equity, measuring how much debt it uses to finance operations.

TFC's current D/E of 1.08x means it has $1.08 of debt for every $1 of equity, indicating moderate leverage. This is above the sector median of 0.73x, placing TFC in the 68th percentile among its peers — meaning it carries more debt than roughly two-thirds of similar companies. No trend information is available: the year-over-year change and quarter-over-quarter change are both listed as N/A, and the single historical data point is the current value. With a D/E level above the sector median and no directional trend, the metric points to a stable but elevated debt profile that neither introduces new risk nor signals improvement. This level of leverage is potentially a concern for risk-averse investors, but it does not strongly contradict the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as the absence of a trend suggests the company is managing its current capital structure without recent deterioration.
