How debt-to-equity is calculated
TickerStat calculates debt-to-equity as total interest-bearing debt divided by SEC-reported shareholders’ equity for the same balance-sheet date. Total liabilities are not treated as debt, and periods with non-positive equity are omitted. Fiscal periods can differ from calendar years, so exact period-end dates are included.
