Debt-to-capital ratio = Long-term debt ÷ (Long-term debt + Total stockholders’ equity)
= $—K ÷ ($—K + $4,684,480K)
= 0.00
The debt-to-capital ratio of Cintas Corporation has remained consistently at zero across all observed periods from August 31, 2020, through November 30, 2024, encompassing multiple quarterly measurements. This enduring value suggests that the company has not reported any long-term or short-term debt during this timeframe, indicating a capital structure entirely composed of equity. The absence of debt implies a conservative financial stance, likely characterized by reliance on internally generated funds or equity capital to finance operations and growth initiatives. Such a consistent zero debt-to-capital ratio reflects a debt-free or debt-negligible profile, which could be advantageous in terms of financial stability, flexibility, and risk mitigation, though it may also limit leverage used for expansion or other strategic investments.
