The debt-to-capital ratio of Healthstream Inc has consistently been at 0.00 for the past eight quarters, indicating that the company has not utilized debt to finance its operations relative to its capital structure during this period. This suggests that Healthstream Inc may be primarily relying on equity financing or generating sufficient internal cash flows to support its business activities without the need for external borrowing. It is important to note that a debt-to-capital ratio of 0.00 does not necessarily imply a negative financial position, as companies can choose different capital structures based on their financial strategy and risk tolerance. Further analysis of the company's overall financial health and capital structure would be required to fully assess the implications of its consistently low debt-to-capital ratio.
