Telephone And Data Systems, Inc.'s debt-to-assets ratio has fluctuated over the past five years, ranging from 0.22 to 0.29. The ratio indicates the proportion of the company's assets funded by debt, with a higher ratio suggesting higher leverage and potential financial risk. In 2023, the ratio increased slightly to 0.29 from 0.26 in 2022, indicating a higher reliance on debt to finance assets. This could imply increased financial leverage and potential vulnerability to economic downturns or interest rate changes.
