The debt-to-assets ratio for Embecta Corp has shown a fluctuating trend over the past few quarters.

This suggests that the company relies heavily on debt financing to support its operations and growth.

The ratio peaked at 1.68 in the first quarter of 2022, implying a higher level of leverage at that time. Subsequently, there was a significant decrease in the ratio to 0.00 in the fourth quarter of 2021, which may be due to a reduction in debt levels or an increase in asset values.
