Monster Beverage Corp's financial leverage ratio has displayed some fluctuation over the reporting periods, ranging from 1.18 to 1.39. Generally, a financial leverage ratio of 1 indicates that the company has an equal amount of debt and equity in its capital structure. A ratio above 1 suggests the company is relying more on debt financing, while a ratio below 1 indicates a higher proportion of equity financing.

The company's financial leverage ratio increased in the mid-2024 period, reaching its peak at 1.39. This significant increase may signify a higher reliance on debt to finance its operations or investments during that period. Subsequently, there was a slight decrease in the ratio by the end of 2024, suggesting a potential shift towards a more balanced capital structure.

Overall, monitoring Monster Beverage Corp's financial leverage ratio is essential for understanding its capital structure and potential financial risks associated with high levels of debt.
