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.
