AI Insight: WMS Ratio Trends

WMS deleveraged sharply from 1.18 D/E in Q4 2023 to 0.66 by Q4 2025, but profitability metrics collapsed in Q4 2025—operating margin fell to 19.7%, lowest in two years.

Debt-to-equity compressed from 1.18 (Q4 2023) to 0.66 (Q4 2025), a 44% reduction signaling aggressive deleveraging.

Operating margin slumped 6.6pp from Q3 2025 (26.3%) to Q4 2025 (19.7%), dragging NPM and ROIC with it.

ROIC fell from 29.0% (Q3 2025) to 17.1% (Q4 2025), breaking a three-quarter recovery trend and matching Q1 2025 lows.

Q4 2025 margin collapse suggests seasonal weakness or one-time charges; monitor Q1 2026 results for stabilization.

TTM D/E of 0.88 vs. Q4 2025 of 0.66 implies Q1 2026 leverage jumped sharply—investigate near-term refinancing needs.
