Lower is generally safer, but moderate leverage can boost returns. Read in the context of cash-flow stability — a utility tolerates more debt than a cyclical. Negative equity makes the ratio meaningless and it is suppressed there.

Comparable within an industry; capital structures differ sharply across sectors. Not meaningful for banks.
