The debt-to-equity ratio of Chemed Corp has consistently been 0.00 for the past several quarters, from June 30, 2020, to March 31, 2025. This indicates that the company has not utilized any debt financing to fund its operations and growth during this period. A debt-to-equity ratio of 0.00 means that the company's total liabilities are equal to zero or significantly lower than its total equity, suggesting a low financial risk as the business is not relying on external debt to support its operations. However, it is important to note that a very low debt-to-equity ratio could also signal missed opportunities for leveraging debt to potentially boost returns for shareholders.
