Increased Borrowing

Trading Term

The debt to assets ratio is a leverage ratio used to determine how much debt (a sum of long-term and current portion of debt) a company has on its balance sheet relative to total assets. All things being equal, an increasing debt to assets ratio is riskier for equity investors; debt holders often have seniority over company assets during bankruptcy. This flag identifies companies where Debt to Total Assets for the most recent fiscal year is significantly higher than the same ratio from the prior fiscal year, both in an absolute sense and also relative to the rest of the universe.
