The debt-to-capital ratio for CarMax Inc has consistently remained at 0.00 over the period from February 29, 2020, to November 30, 2024. This indicates that the company has not had any debt relative to its capital during this time frame. A debt-to-capital ratio of zero suggests that the company has not utilized any debt financing to fund its operations or expansion, and instead has relied solely on equity financing. While having no debt can indicate financial stability and lower financial risk, it may also suggest missed opportunities for leveraging debt to potentially enhance returns. CarMax Inc's consistent zero debt-to-capital ratio reflects a conservative approach to capital structure and financial management.
