Would this rule have fired?
SEC EDGAR XBRL companyfacts
Debt to Equity stays at or below 0.00
Coverage
Debt to Equity can be measured in 26 of the 30 filed fiscal years we test against, FY1997 to FY2026. The other 4 carry no value and count in neither total: they are shown blank, never as zero.
Future filings can only add years, never fill in the old blank ones.
This page prints only figures that resolve to a document on sec.gov. 31 further fiscal years are held for this company from a commercial data feed, and are left out here rather than shown without a filing you can open.
Result
This rule would have fired 8 times: FY2019, FY2020, FY2021, FY2022, FY2023, FY2024, FY2025, FY2026.
