Based on: 10-Q (reporting date: 2026-04-30), 10-K (reporting date: 2026-01-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-10-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-07-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-04-30), 10-K (reporting date: 2025-01-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-10-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-07-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-04-30), 10-K (reporting date: 2024-01-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-10-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-07-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-04-30), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-01-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-10-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-07-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-04-30), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-01-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-10-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-07-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-04-30).
The solvency profile of the organization exhibited a prolonged period of stability and gradual deleveraging from late 2021 through late 2025, followed by a significant and abrupt increase in leverage during the first half of 2026. While the company maintained a conservative capital structure for several years, the most recent data indicates a fundamental shift in the debt-to-equity and debt-to-asset composition.
- Debt to Equity Ratios
- Between July 2021 and October 2025, the debt-to-equity ratio remained consistently low, generally fluctuating between 0.14 and 0.24. A gradual downward trend was observed from 2022 through 2025, suggesting a prioritization of equity growth or debt repayment. However, a sharp reversal occurred in early 2026, with the ratio climbing to 0.24 in January and surging to 1.15 by April 2026. When including operating lease liabilities, this trend is mirrored, peaking at 1.22 in April 2026, indicating a substantial increase in total liabilities relative to shareholders' equity.
- Debt to Capital and Debt to Assets
- The debt-to-capital and debt-to-assets ratios followed a trajectory similar to the debt-to-equity metrics. Debt to capital remained stable in the 0.12 to 0.15 range for several years before rising to 0.53 in April 2026. Simultaneously, debt to assets remained below 0.15 for the majority of the analyzed period, reaching a low of 0.08 in January 2025, before spiking to 0.37 by April 2026. These movements suggest a significant infusion of debt that outpaced the growth of the asset base during the final two quarters of the data set.
- Financial Leverage and Interest Coverage
- Financial leverage remained relatively constant, oscillating between 1.52 and 1.69 from April 2021 to October 2025. This stability ended in January 2026, where leverage rose to 1.90, and culminated in a sharp increase to 3.12 by April 2026, reflecting a more aggressive use of debt to finance assets. Despite this surge in leverage, the interest coverage ratio for April 2026 stands at 33.39, indicating that the organization maintains a strong capacity to service its interest obligations from operating earnings.
In summary, the analysis reveals a transition from a low-leverage financial strategy to a high-leverage position in the first half of 2026. While the rapid increase in solvency ratios typically signals higher financial risk, the exceptionally high interest coverage ratio suggests that the increased debt load is currently well-supported by the organization's earnings power.

The solvency profile of the organization exhibited three distinct phases between April 2021 and April 2026: an initial period of volatility, a prolonged era of stability and deleveraging, and a final period of significant capital restructuring.
- Initial Debt Expansion (April 2021 – July 2021)
- A sharp increase in total debt is observed, rising from 2,676 million US$ to 13,270 million US$. This resulted in the debt to equity ratio increasing from 0.06 to 0.24 within a single quarter, reflecting a rapid shift in the leverage position.
- Period of Stability and Deleveraging (October 2021 – October 2025)
- Following the initial spike, total debt remained relatively stable around 10.6 billion US$ before entering a gradual downward trend, reaching a low of 8,430 million US$ by July 2024. Concurrently, stockholders' equity grew from 42,567 million US$ in April 2021 to a peak of 61,328 million US$ by July 2025. This combination of decreasing debt and increasing equity led to a steady decline in the debt to equity ratio, which compressed from 0.19 in October 2021 to a consistent 0.14 by October 2025.
- Significant Capital Shift (January 2026 – April 2026)
- A dramatic reversal in the solvency trend occurred in the final two quarters. Total debt escalated sharply from 8,438 million US$ in October 2025 to 39,280 million US$ by April 2026. Simultaneously, stockholders' equity experienced a severe contraction, dropping from 60,021 million US$ to 34,235 million US$. This divergence caused the debt to equity ratio to surge to 1.15, marking the first instance in the analyzed period where total debt exceeded total equity.
The overall trajectory indicates a transition from a conservative, equity-heavy capital structure to a highly leveraged position. The final observation period reveals a fundamental shift in solvency, as the debt to equity ratio increased by over 700% between October 2025 and April 2026.

1 Q1 2027 Calculation
Debt to equity (including operating lease liability) = Total debt (including operating lease liability) ÷ Stockholders’ equity
= 41,884 ÷ 34,235 = 1.22
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The solvency profile exhibits three distinct phases: an initial increase in leverage, a sustained period of gradual deleveraging and equity accumulation, and a sharp deterioration in the capital structure during the final two quarters of the period.
- Debt Accumulation and Stabilization
- A significant increase in total debt, including operating lease liabilities, occurred between April 30, 2021, and July 31, 2021, where obligations rose from 6,136 million to 16,861 million. Following this spike, debt levels remained relatively stable for several years, oscillating between 12,500 million and 14,100 million until October 2025, indicating a period of consistent debt management.
- Equity Growth and Deleveraging
- Stockholders' equity demonstrated a strong upward trend from April 2021 (42,567 million) through January 2025, peaking at 61,173 million. This growth in equity, coupled with a gradual reduction in total debt from 14,021 million in October 2021 to 11,139 million in October 2025, resulted in a consistent decline in the debt-to-equity ratio. The ratio reached a low of 0.18 by July 31, 2025, reflecting an improved solvency position and reduced financial risk.
- Capital Structure Deterioration
- A drastic shift in solvency occurred in early 2026. Total debt surged from 11,139 million in October 2025 to 41,884 million by April 30, 2026. Simultaneously, stockholders' equity collapsed from 60,021 million in July 2025 to 34,235 million in April 2026. This dual movement caused the debt-to-equity ratio to spike from 0.19 in October 2025 to 1.22 in April 2026, indicating a transition from a low-leverage position to a highly leveraged capital structure.

The capital structure exhibits three distinct phases: an initial period of rapid expansion, a prolonged phase of stability and deleveraging, and a final period of significant debt accumulation. Overall, the solvency profile transitioned from a conservative stance to a highly leveraged position by the end of the observed period.
- Initial Leverage Expansion
- A sharp increase in total debt occurred between April 30, 2021, and July 31, 2021, where debt levels rose from 2,676 million to 13,270 million. This resulted in the debt-to-capital ratio climbing from 0.06 to 0.19, marking a substantial shift in the company's financing strategy within a single quarter.
- Stabilization and Gradual Deleveraging
- From October 31, 2021, through October 31, 2025, a period of relative stability was maintained. Total debt levels were initially held near 10,600 million before gradually declining to approximately 8,438 million. Concurrently, the debt-to-capital ratio showed a consistent downward trajectory, decreasing from 0.16 to 0.12, indicating a reduction in reliance on borrowed funds relative to total capital.
- Recent Capital Structure Shift
- A significant escalation in leverage is observed in the final two quarters of the data. Total debt increased from 8,438 million in October 31, 2025, to 39,280 million by April 30, 2026. This surge drove the debt-to-capital ratio from 0.12 to 0.53, representing the highest level of solvency risk recorded in the period analyzed.
- Total Capital Trends
- Total capital remained relatively stable throughout the majority of the timeline, fluctuating primarily between 66,000 million and 70,000 million. The most notable movement occurred between April 2021 and July 2021, with capital increasing from 45,243 million to 68,790 million, aligning with the initial increase in debt.

The solvency profile exhibits three distinct phases: an initial period of leverage expansion, a multi-year period of stability and gradual deleveraging, and a sharp increase in debt obligations in the final two quarters of the observed period.
- Initial Leverage Increase
- Between April 30, 2021, and July 31, 2021, total debt rose significantly from $6.1 billion to $16.8 billion. This resulted in the debt-to-capital ratio increasing from 0.13 to 0.23, reflecting a rapid shift in the company's capital structure.
- Period of Capital Stability
- From October 31, 2021, through October 31, 2024, the debt-to-capital ratio remained remarkably stable, fluctuating within a narrow band between 0.16 and 0.20. Total debt during this interval trended slightly downward, moving from approximately $14 billion to $11.4 billion, while total capital remained consistently between $69 billion and $73 billion. This suggests a disciplined approach to maintaining a balanced solvency ratio over several years.
- Recent Debt Surge
- A dramatic shift in the leverage profile is observed starting in January 2026. Total debt increased to $17.1 billion in January 2026 and spiked to $41.8 billion by April 30, 2026. Consequently, the debt-to-capital ratio rose sharply from 0.16 in October 2025 to 0.55 by April 2026, the highest level recorded in the analyzed period.
The analysis indicates that while the company maintained a conservative and stable solvency position for the majority of the timeframe, the recent surge in total debt has substantially increased the proportion of debt within the total capital structure, shifting the debt-to-capital ratio from a historical average of approximately 0.18 to 0.55.

2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The solvency profile exhibits three distinct phases: an initial surge in leverage, a prolonged period of stability and gradual deleveraging, and a recent sharp increase in debt obligations.
- Leverage Trends (2021-2023)
- A significant increase in total debt occurred between April 2021 and July 2021, where obligations rose from 2,676 million to 13,270 million. This shift caused the debt-to-assets ratio to increase from 0.04 to 0.15. Following this spike, the ratio stabilized between 0.11 and 0.12 throughout most of 2022, indicating a period of adjusted capital structure.
- Deleveraging and Stability (2023-2025)
- A gradual reduction in total debt is observed from April 2023 through October 2025. Total debt decreased from 9,602 million to 8,438 million. During this same window, total assets fluctuated between 91,022 million and 102,928 million. This combination of decreasing debt and stable assets led to a compression of the debt-to-assets ratio, which reached a low of 0.08 by January 2025.
- Recent Solvency Shift (2026)
- A substantial increase in leverage is evident in the first half of 2026. Total debt rose to 14,439 million in January 2026 and surged to 39,280 million by April 2026. Despite total assets remaining substantial at 106,680 million, the debt-to-assets ratio escalated to 0.37. This represents the highest level of leverage in the analyzed period and a significant departure from the prior trend of conservative solvency.

2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The solvency profile exhibits three distinct phases: an initial spike in leverage, a prolonged period of deleveraging and stability, and a significant escalation in debt obligations toward the end of the observed period.
- Debt Trajectory and Obligations
- Total debt, including operating lease liabilities, experienced a sharp increase between April 2021 and July 2021, rising from 6,136 million to 16,861 million. Following this peak, a gradual downward trend was maintained for several years, with liabilities receding to a low of 11,139 million by July 2025. However, a substantial reversal occurred in the final two quarters, where debt surged to 17,176 million in January 2026 and peaked at 41,884 million by April 2026.
- Asset Base Evolution
- Total assets grew from 64,885 million in April 2021 to a peak of 112,305 million in January 2026. While the asset base remained relatively stable between 91,000 million and 103,000 million for the majority of the period, the overall growth trend provided a buffer against the debt increases seen in the middle years of the analysis.
- Solvency Ratio Analysis
- The debt-to-assets ratio reflects the interaction between rising assets and fluctuating liabilities. After an initial jump from 0.09 to 0.19 in mid-2021, the ratio entered a consistent period of contraction, reaching a minimum of 0.11 by January 2024. This indicates a strengthening of the solvency position through both debt repayment and asset accumulation. This stability was disrupted in the final quarters, as the ratio climbed to 0.15 in January 2026 and spiked to 0.39 by April 2026, signaling a significant increase in financial leverage.

1 Q1 2027 Calculation
Financial leverage = Total assets ÷ Stockholders’ equity
= 106,680 ÷ 34,235 = 3.12
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The financial leverage profile of the organization remained remarkably stable for the majority of the observed period, followed by a significant escalation in the final two quarters. From April 2021 through October 2025, the financial leverage ratio fluctuated within a narrow band between 1.52 and 1.69, indicating a consistent approach to balancing debt and equity relative to total assets.
- Total Asset Growth
- Total assets exhibited a general upward trajectory, increasing from 64,885 million USD in April 2021 to a peak of 112,305 million USD in January 2026. While there were intermittent quarterly contractions, the overall trend indicates a substantial expansion of the balance sheet over the five-year span.
- Stockholders' Equity Trends
- Equity remained relatively stagnant for several years, maintaining a range between 55,000 million USD and 61,000 million USD from July 2021 through October 2025. However, a sharp decline occurred in the final period, with equity dropping to 34,235 million USD by April 2026, representing a significant reduction in the equity cushion.
- Financial Leverage Volatility
- The leverage ratio demonstrated minimal volatility until January 2026, when it rose to 1.90. This upward trend accelerated sharply in April 2026, reaching a peak of 3.12. This spike is directly attributable to the simultaneous maintenance of high asset levels and the precipitous decline in stockholders' equity, resulting in a substantially higher reliance on liabilities to fund assets.
The data reveals a fundamental shift in the solvency structure during the first half of 2026. The transition from a leverage ratio of approximately 1.60 to 3.12 suggests a rapid increase in financial risk and a departure from the historical capital structure maintained between 2021 and 2025.

The operational trajectory demonstrates a shift from a period of instability to one of consistent growth and strengthening solvency. Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) showed significant volatility between April 2021 and April 2022, characterized by a downturn that led to negative operating results in late 2021 and early 2022.
- Operating Earnings Trend
- A sustained recovery began in mid-2022, accelerating sharply by July 2023. From that point, EBIT grew from 1,492 million to a peak of 3,038 million by April 2026. This steady climb indicates a significant improvement in operational efficiency and profitability over the analyzed timeframe.
- Interest Coverage Analysis
- Solvency assessment for the final period ending April 30, 2026, reveals a very strong capacity to service debt. With an interest expense of 317 million and an interest coverage ratio of 33.39, the operating income is more than sufficient to cover interest obligations, reflecting a low risk of insolvency regarding debt service.
