The data indicates that Brady Corporation has maintained a consistent debt-to-capital ratio of zero from July 31, 2021, through July 31, 2025. This uniformity suggests that over this period, the company has not utilized debt financing relative to its total capitalization. Consequently, Brady Corporation's capital structure appears to be entirely equity-based, with no recorded long-term or short-term debt contributing to its financial leverage. This financial profile may imply a conservative approach to leverage, potentially resulting in lower financial risk but also possibly limiting the company's growth opportunities that could be financed through debt. Overall, the persistently zero debt-to-capital ratio reflects a debt-free capital structure during these years, consistent across the provided timeline.
