= 0.00
The analysis of Oracle Corporation’s debt-to-equity ratio based on the provided data reveals a consistent pattern of a ratio equal to zero across multiple reporting periods, beginning from August 31, 2020, through November 30, 2025. Specifically, the ratio remains at 0.00 in each available measurement point, indicating that the company has not employed debt financing relative to its equity during this period.
This persistent zero value suggests that Oracle has not utilized debt to fund its operations, growth initiatives, or other corporate activities. Instead, the company appears to rely solely on equity capital, such as retained earnings and shareholders' equity, to sustain its financial position. The absence of debt implies a conservative capital structure, potentially reducing financial risk associated with interest obligations and leverage. However, it also indicates that the company may be forgoing certain benefits of debt financing, such as tax advantages or additional growth capital that leverage might provide.
Overall, the data indicates that Oracle’s capital structure is entirely equity-financed across the examined timeframe, which is characteristic of a firm with low financial leverage and potentially a focus on maintaining financial stability and flexibility.
