Debt to Equity
The financial metric "Debt to Equity" is a ratio that indicates the relative proportion of debt and equity used by a company to finance its assets. It is calculated by dividing a company's total liabilities (including long-term and short-term debts) by its total equity. This ratio indicates the extent to which a company is relying on debt financing rather than equity financing to operate and expand its business. A high debt to equity ratio may indicate that a company is highly leveraged, which could pose a higher financial risk in the event of economic downturns or other adverse events.
