The financial leverage ratio of Valvoline Inc has exhibited fluctuations over the past several periods, ranging from 3.12% to as high as 132.57%. The ratio indicates the company's reliance on debt to finance its operations and investments. A higher ratio suggests a greater proportion of debt in the company's capital structure, which can increase financial risk but also potentially amplify returns. In contrast, a lower ratio signifies a more conservative approach with less dependence on borrowed funds. Valvoline Inc's financial leverage ratio has shown variability, possibly reflecting changes in the company's financing decisions and capital structure. An in-depth analysis of the trend in conjunction with other financial metrics would provide a more comprehensive assessment of the company's financial health and risk profile.
