The debt-to-assets ratio for United Parcel Service Inc has consistently remained at 0.00 over the past several quarters, from March 31, 2020, to December 31, 2024. This indicates that the company has not utilized debt financing to acquire assets during this period. A debt-to-assets ratio of 0.00 suggests that the company's assets are primarily financed through equity rather than debt, which may reflect a strong financial position and lower risk of financial distress. However, it is important to note that a very low debt-to-assets ratio could also imply limited leverage and potentially missed opportunities for investment and growth. Overall, based on the consistent 0.00 debt-to-assets ratio, United Parcel Service Inc appears to have a conservative approach to debt management and asset financing.
