= $5,639,600K ÷ $3,616,300K
= 1.56

Omnicom Group, Inc.'s debt-to-equity ratio has shown fluctuations over the past eight quarters, ranging from a low of 1.56 in Q4 2023 to a high of 1.99 in Q3 2022. The trend indicates that the company has been relying more on debt financing relative to equity during this period. This could imply higher financial leverage and increased risk, as a higher debt-to-equity ratio suggests a higher proportion of debt in the company's capital structure compared to equity. It's worth noting that a ratio above 1 indicates that the company has more debt than equity in its financing mix across the periods analyzed. Investors and stakeholders may closely monitor this ratio as it can provide insights into Omnicom Group's financial health, risk profile, and capital structure decisions.
