The debt-to-equity ratio of Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corp has been showing an increasing trend over the past quarters. In Q4 2023, the ratio stood at 2.16, which was higher compared to the previous quarter's ratio of 2.10. This indicates that the company is relying more on debt financing relative to equity.

The upward trend in the debt-to-equity ratio suggests that Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corp may be taking on more debt to fund its operations or expansion initiatives. A higher ratio may point to a higher financial risk for the company, as it indicates a greater proportion of debt in its capital structure compared to equity.

It is important for investors and stakeholders to monitor this trend closely as a consistently high debt-to-equity ratio could potentially impact the company's financial stability and ability to meet its debt obligations in the long run.
