Debt-to-Equity Ratio

VICI’s Debt-to-Equity Ratio of 0.60x means that for every dollar of shareholder equity, the company carries 60 cents in debt—a measure of financial leverage.

This is below the Real Estate sector median of 0.76x, placing VICI in the 21st percentile among its peers, indicating it uses less debt than most competitors. The year-over-year change is not available, but the quarter-over-quarter change shows a decline of -4.8%, suggesting the company has reduced its leverage relative to equity in the most recent period. A low debt level combined with a downward trend points to a conservative financial position, which may lower bankruptcy risk and reduce exposure to rising interest rates. However, a very low debt ratio can also signal that management is not fully utilizing debt to grow returns, potentially capping upside. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict because the conservative leverage offers stability, but the lack of growth-driven debt use aligns with a balanced, risk-moderate outlook.
