The analysis of Korn Ferry's debt-to-equity ratio over the specified periods indicates a consistent value of zero throughout the entire reported timeframe, from April 2020 to October 2025. This uniformity suggests that the company has maintained a financial structure characterized by an absence of interest-bearing debt during this period. Consequently, Korn Ferry has relied predominantly, if not exclusively, on equity financing rather than debt financing to support its operations and growth initiatives. The persistent zero ratio also implies a conservative approach to leverage, potentially reflecting a strategy to minimize financial risk or a robust cash position that obviates the need for external borrowing. Overall, the data denotes a debt-free capital structure over the covered timeframe, which can impact the company’s financial flexibility, risk profile, and capacity for future growth or investment.
