Based on the data provided, Group 1 Automotive Inc has maintained a consistent debt-to-assets ratio of 0.00 from December 31, 2020, to December 31, 2024. A debt-to-assets ratio of 0.00 indicates that the company has no debt relative to its total assets during this period. This could suggest that Group 1 Automotive Inc primarily finances its operations through equity rather than debt financing, which may signify a lower financial risk and higher financial stability. It also implies that the company has a strong financial position and is less exposed to financial distress associated with high debt levels. However, it's important to note that a zero debt-to-assets ratio may also limit the company's ability to benefit from tax shields associated with debt financing and could potentially indicate underutilization of leverage for growth or expansion opportunities.
