Fortive has accumulated 2.25 B in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 91.1, indicating the company may have difficulties to generate enough cash to satisfy its financial obligations. Fortive has a current ratio of 1.21, suggesting that it is not liquid enough and may have problems paying out its financial obligations in time and when they become due. Debt can assist Fortive until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Fortive'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 Fortive sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Fortive to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Fortive's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
