Wesco International, Inc.'s solvency ratios show a relatively consistent trend over the past eight quarters. The debt-to-assets ratio has ranged from 0.35 to 0.37, indicating that between 35% and 37% of the company's total assets have been financed by debt. This suggests that Wesco International has maintained a stable level of leverage in its capital structure.

Similarly, the debt-to-capital ratio has shown a consistent range between 0.51 and 0.55 over the same period. This ratio reveals that between 51% and 55% of the company's capital has been funded by debt, indicating a moderate level of financial leverage.

The debt-to-equity ratio has displayed a gradual increase from 1.06 to 1.22, peaking in the most recent quarter. This indicates that the proportion of debt in relation to equity has been rising, which may raise concerns about the company's financial risk and ability to meet its debt obligations.

Finally, the financial leverage ratio has fluctuated between 2.99 and 3.37, reflecting the company's capital structure and its reliance on debt financing. A higher financial leverage ratio suggests that Wesco International has been using a higher proportion of debt to finance its assets, which could magnify the company's financial risks and impact its ability to withstand economic downturns.

In conclusion, while Wesco International's solvency ratios have displayed stability in some areas, the increasing trend in the debt-to-equity ratio warrants further scrutiny to ensure the company's financial health and long-term sustainability.
