About this calculator
D/E ratio: leverage indicator. Low D/E (<0.5) = conservative funding, financial flexibility. High D/E (>2) = aggressive leverage, magnifies returns and risk. Industry varies: utilities + REITs run 1-2 normally (stable cash flows support debt); tech often <0.3 (no need); banks run 6-10+ (different model). Rising D/E over time may indicate trouble; falling = deleveraging (often post-recession).
