The debt-to-equity ratio for Caesars Entertainment Corporation has been showing an increasing trend over the years, starting from 2.81 in 2020 and reaching 3.06 in 2021, 3.41 in 2022, before slightly decreasing to 2.69 in 2023 and then rising again to 2.89 in 2024. This indicates that the company has been relying more on debt financing compared to equity to support its operations and growth.

Investors and creditors may view this as a potential risk factor, as higher debt levels can increase financial leverage and operational vulnerability in uncertain economic conditions.
