Airbus Group SE has a current ratio of 1.08, suggesting that it is in a questionable position to pay out its financial obligations in time and when they become due. Debt can assist Airbus Group until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Airbus Group's shareholders could walk away with nothing if the company can't fulfill its legal obligations to repay debt. However, a more frequent occurrence is when companies like Airbus Group SE sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Airbus to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Airbus Group's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
