"The debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio assesses the extent to which a company relies on borrowed funds compared to its equity. Considering the debt-to-equity ratio in industry comparisons allows for a concise evaluation of a company's financial health and risk profile, aiding in informed decision-making. By considering the Debt-to-Equity ratio, Meta Platforms can be compared to its top 4 peers, leading to the following observations:"
Meta Platforms operates a global "Family of Apps"—Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp—with nearly 4 billion monthly active users and monetizes via targeted advertising using user data. Reality Labs represents a sizable investment area but contributes only a small portion of overall sales. The debt-to-equity ratio measures reliance on borrowed funds versus equity and helps assess financial health and risk. Meta's reported debt-to-equity ratio of 0.26 is lower than its top four peers, indicating a more favorable balance between debt and equity and a comparatively stronger financial position within the Interactive Media & Services sector.
