A debt-to-equity ratio of 0.00 suggests that the company may be primarily funded by equity rather than external borrowings. While a low or zero debt-to-equity ratio can suggest a lower financial risk, it may also imply missed opportunities for leveraging debt financing for potential growth or tax benefits. It is important to consider the company's specific circumstances and industry norms when evaluating the implications of a consistently low debt-to-equity ratio.
