Capital Power has accumulated 4.86 B in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 1.08, which is about average as compared to similar companies. Capital Power has a current ratio of 0.78, indicating that it has a negative working capital and may not be able to pay financial obligations in time and when they become due. Debt can assist Capital Power until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Capital Power'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 Capital Power sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Capital to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Capital Power's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.

This measure is expressed in what is known as the correlation coefficient, which ranges between -1 and +1.

Alternatively, perfect negative correlation means that if Capital Power moves in either direction, the perfectly negatively correlated security will move in the opposite direction. If the correlation is 0, the equities are not correlated; they are entirely random. A correlation greater than 0.8 is generally described as strong, whereas a correlation less than 0.5 is generally considered weak.
