debt-equity ratio

   Also found in: Financial 0.04 sec.

debt-equity ratio

Measure used to assess a company's financial health. The ratio is calculated by dividing the company's long-term debt (capital contributed by creditors) by the shareholders' equity (contributed by owners). The result is often referred to as gearing. A highly geared company has a high proportion of debt in relation to its equity. In the USA, gearing is known as leverage.
