Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated has accumulated 509.8 M in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 0.1, which may suggest the company is not taking enough advantage from borrowing. Vertex Pharmaceuticals has a current ratio of 4.52, suggesting that it is liquid and has the ability to pay its financial obligations in time and when they become due. Debt can assist Vertex Pharmaceuticals until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Vertex Pharmaceuticals' 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 Vertex Pharmaceuticals sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Vertex to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Vertex Pharmaceuticals' use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
