What Is Debt To Equity Ratio?
Debt To Equity
The debt to equity ratio shows a company’s debt as a percentage of its shareholder’s equity.

If the debt to equity ratio is less than 1.0, then the firm is generally less risky than firms whose debt to equity ratio is greater than 1.0.
If the company, for example, has a debt to equity ratio of .50, it means that it uses 50 cents of debt financing for every 1 of equity financing.
