Total debt to capital
Total debt to capital is a financial ratio that measures a company's financial leverage by comparing its total debt to its total capital. Total debt includes all of a company's short-term and long-term debt obligations. Shareholders' equity represents the total value of assets that shareholders own in the company.
Total debt to capital = Total debt / (Shareholders' equity + Total debt)
If the denominator is negative, the field value will be empty.
By using this formula, investors can calculate the proportion of a company's capital structure that is financed by debt, providing insights into its financial risk profile.
This ratio helps assess a company's risk level and financial health. A high total debt to capital ratio indicates that a company relies heavily on debt to finance its operations, which can increase financial risk. On the other hand, a lower ratio suggests a more conservative capital structure with less reliance on debt.
