Looking further back, in Q2 2023, the ratio spiked to 1.55, suggesting a higher reliance on debt to finance operations compared to other quarters. This was followed by a significant decrease in Q3 2023 to 0.91, indicating a more conservative capital structure with lower debt levels relative to equity.

Comparing the latest Q4 2023 ratio to the same quarter in the previous year, there has been an increase from 0.95 to 1.21. This upward trend in the debt-to-equity ratio may indicate a shift towards more debt financing or a decrease in equity relative to debt.
