High LeverageA debt-to-equity ratio near 2.9 signals substantial leverage, increasing interest expense sensitivity and reducing financial flexibility. High indebtedness can limit capacity for growth investments, amplify stress during cash flow volatility, and heighten refinancing risk in tighter credit markets.
