Canadian Utilities has a current ratio of 1.48, which is within standard range for the sector. Debt can assist Canadian Utilities until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Canadian Utilities' 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 Canadian Utilities sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Canadian to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Canadian Utilities' use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
