Meanwhile, companies in the tech or service sector have lower D\/E ratios.&nbsp;<\/p><p>To successfully apply the debt-to-equity ratio in an optimum manner, it must be used in conjunction with other ratios. Along with the D\/E ratio, investors must prefer using the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs\/price-to-earnings-ratio-p-e-ratio\">PE ratio<\/a><\/strong>, earning ratio, ROE ratio, PB ratio, or operating profit margin.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The debt-to-equity ratio is a leverage ratio, also known as a gearing ratio, that measures the company\u2019s debt relative to the equity capital.<\/li>\n\n<li>It tells investors how much debt the company uses per unit of shareholder\u2019s equity to fund business operations.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n<li>The debt-to-equity ratio is also used to analyse the risk profile of a listed corporation.<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n<li>The D\/E ratio is calculated by dividing the total liabilities by the shareholder\u2019s equity.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ_on_Debt-to-Equity_Ratio\"><\/span><strong>FAQ on Debt-to-Equity Ratio<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_What_is_the_debt-to-equity_ratio\"><\/span>1. <strong>What is the debt-to-equity ratio?&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p>The debt-to-equity ratio is a financial metric that represents the amount of debt taken by a company relative to its equity capital to fund its operation.
