Debt-to-Equity Ratio

The Debt-to-Equity ratio compares a company’s total debt to its shareholders’ equity, showing how much it relies on borrowing to finance operations; a lower number indicates less leverage.

At 0.57x, WY’s ratio is below the sector median of 0.73x, placing it at the 40th percentile among its peers, meaning it uses less debt than most comparable companies. Over the last eight quarters the trend has been increasing, although the quarter-over-quarter change shows a -1.7% decline from the prior period; year-over-year data is not available. The combination of a ratio well below the sector median suggests low financial risk, but the longer-term upward trajectory — driven by a jump from 0.04x in earlier quarters — signals that debt levels are rising and should be monitored. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict: the conservative leverage level is a positive, while the gradual increase introduces enough caution to avoid a bullish or bearish tilt.
