# Leverage and Debt-to-Equity **Leverage** is the use of borrowed money (debt) to finance assets or operations, typically expressed as a ratio of total debt to total equity. **Debt-to-Equity Ratio** = Total Debt รท Total Shareholders' Equity ## Why It Matters These metrics matter because they reveal a company's financial risk and capital structure efficiency. Higher leverage amplifies both potential returns for shareholders and the risk of financial distress, while also affecting borrowing costs and financial flexibility. Investors and creditors use these ratios to assess whether a company has too much debt relative to its equity cushion.
