Cascades has accumulated 1.32 B in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 0.92, which is about average as compared to similar companies. Cascades has a current ratio of 1.57, which is within standard range for the sector. Debt can assist Cascades until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Cascades' 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 Cascades sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Cascades to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Cascades' use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
