This indicates that the company has not utilized debt as a significant source of financing relative to its total assets during this period. A debt-to-assets ratio of 0.00 suggests that Quest Diagnostics has a low financial risk and is primarily financing its operations through equity and retained earnings rather than taking on debt. While a low debt-to-assets ratio is generally seen as a positive indicator of financial health and stability, it is important to consider the overall financial strategy and capital structure of the company in a holistic manner.
