factor.explanation

The long-term debt-to-capital ratio reveals the degree of reliance on long-term debt financing in a company's asset structure by calculating the proportion of non-current liabilities in total assets. A lower ratio usually means that the company is more dependent on equity financing or short-term liabilities and has relatively low financial risk, while a higher ratio means that the company is more dependent on long-term debt financing, has higher financial leverage and greater potential risk. Investors and creditors can use this indicator to assess a company's long-term financial stability and debt repayment ability. The actual significance of this indicator is better reflected within the industry or when compared with historical data. This indicator is an important indicator for measuring a company's long-term capital structure and risk appetite.
