The debt-to-assets ratio of DXP Enterprises Inc has been relatively stable over the past five quarters, ranging between 0.39 and 0.44. This ratio indicates that, on average, the company has financed 35% to 44% of its assets with debt during this period. The slight increase in the ratio from 0.31 in September 2022 to 0.44 in December 2023 may suggest a higher reliance on debt as a source of funding in the latest period.

Overall, the trend in the debt-to-assets ratio shows that DXP Enterprises Inc maintains a moderate level of leverage, which can be considered manageable.
