Name: Equity Multiplier

Definition: The equity multiplier shows how much total assets the company controls for every dollar invested by shareholders. It reflects how much debt is being used to stretch owners’ equity. A higher multiplier means greater use of debt to amplify returns — but also amplifies risk if things go wrong. Lower multipliers suggest a safer, more self-funded business.
