Ross Stores Inc's solvency ratios indicate the company's ability to meet its long-term financial obligations. The debt-to-assets ratio has remained relatively stable over the past quarters, indicating that only a small portion of the company's assets are financed by debt.
The debt-to-capital and debt-to-equity ratios have shown a slight increasing trend, suggesting that the company has been relying more on debt to finance its operations. This could potentially increase financial risk if the company faces difficulties in making debt repayments.
The financial leverage ratio has also been increasing, indicating that the company's debt levels have been rising faster than equity. This could imply a higher level of financial risk and decreased financial flexibility. Overall, Ross Stores Inc's solvency ratios show a mixed trend, with some indicators suggesting increasing reliance on debt financing, which could be a cause for concern in terms of long-term financial stability.
