Debt-to-Equity Ratio
Back to Finance Glossary | Previous Page
A debt-to-equity ratio refers to a firm's total liabilities divided by its total equity. This ratio can be an indicator of how healthy a company is from a capitalization perspective. What might be considered a "healthy" ratio varies across industries, but in general, the higher the ratio, the more risky or "leveraged" the company is.
