The Leverage Question No One Wanted to Address
Unity’s debt-to-equity previously hovered near 240%. That alone places it in a structurally fragile category.

• Founder and long-serving CEO resigned
• CFO resigned
• New CEO and independent directors resigned
• Board quorum lost

Markets discount instability faster than earnings deterioration.
That is why the stock collapsed to multi-year lows.
