United States Steel Corp.'s debt-to-equity ratio has shown relative stability over the last eight quarters, ranging between 0.38 and 0.41. This ratio indicates that the company has been relying more on equity financing rather than debt to fund its operations and growth. The consistent ratio suggests a balanced capital structure, which can be viewed positively by investors and creditors. However, the slight increase from 0.38 in Q4 2022 to 0.41 in Q1 2022 may indicate a recent increase in debt relative to equity, which could signal increased financial leverage or risk. Overall, the company's debt-to-equity ratio trend suggests a prudent approach to managing its financial obligations.
