Paramount Global's debt-to-capital ratio has shown consistency in the range of 0.39 to 0.43 over the past eight quarters. The ratio indicates that, on average, 39% to 43% of the company's capital structure is financed by debt, while the remaining portion is funded by equity. The relatively stable ratio suggests that Paramount Global has been maintaining a balanced mix of debt and equity financing to support its operations and growth initiatives. However, it is important for the company to monitor changes in this ratio over time to ensure that its debt levels remain manageable and sustainable.
