Debt-to-Equity Ratio

Yext’s current Debt-to-Equity Ratio of 1.12x means the company has $1.12 in debt for every $1 of shareholders’ equity — a measure of how much the business relies on borrowing versus its own funds.

This is well above the Technology sector median of 0.27x, placing Yext in the 83rd percentile among peers, indicating it is more leveraged than the majority of its sector. The ratio has been perfectly stable over the past eight quarters, with a year-over-year change of +0.0% and a quarter-over-quarter change of +0.0%. A stable debt load at this elevated level suggests no recent change in leverage risk, but the high absolute ratio compared to peers signals a risk that cash flow could be strained if debt payments become burdensome. This combination of a high but unchanging debt level points to a steady risk profile that neither improves nor deteriorates. As such, this metric neither supports nor contradicts the overall NEUTRAL verdict — it aligns with a view that the stock carries normal risk for its specific financial structure, requiring no adjustment to the neutral stance.
