Debt-to-Equity Ratio

The debt-to-equity ratio of 1.71x means the company uses $1.71 of debt for every $1 of shareholder equity, indicating a higher reliance on borrowed funds relative to its own capital.

This level places it well above the sector median of 0.73x, ranking in the 82nd percentile among peers — meaning only 18% of sector companies carry more debt relative to equity. All trend metrics are N/A: the year-over-year change, quarter-over-quarter change, and the direction over the last eight quarters are not available, so no improvement or deterioration can be assessed. The combination of an elevated leverage level with no trend data suggests higher financial risk compared to the sector, but without a trajectory, it is unclear if that risk is increasing or decreasing. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict because the high debt-to-equity ratio is a cautionary factor, yet the absence of trend information prevents a stronger bearish tilt, leaving the stock in a balanced risk assessment.
