5 U.S. Large Cap Stocks with Low Debt/Equity Ratios

Recent U.S. economic data increases the possibility of an interest rate hike this year

SmallCapPower | July 26, 2016: Following a disappointing May jobs report, U.S. employment bounced back big time in June, with the creation of 287,000 new jobs.

Fortunately for the companies on our list with lower debt-to-equity ratios, the impact of such an action would be less cause for concern.
