This chart shows the historical trend of debt to equity for GRDN compared to its industry average over the recent years.

Ratio Definition and Interpretation

Name: Debt to Equity

Definition: Debt to equity shows how much debt the company uses compared to the amount invested by its owners. It’s a bit like comparing your mortgage to your house down payment. Higher ratios suggest the business is comfortable borrowing to grow — which can boost returns in good times, but adds risk if conditions worsen. Lower ratios signal a more conservative, steady approach.

Interpretation:
• In '2024', GRDN's debt to equity was 0.21, showing the balance between debt financing and shareholders' equity. Industry average for Retail-Drug Stores and Proprietary Stores in '2024' stood at 1.14.
Overall, GRDN's debt to equity has remained generally stable over the past 1 years.

Formula: Debt to Equity = Total Debt / Shareholders' Equity

Good Range: Below 1.0 is conservative; 1-2 is common depending on industry.
