National Bank of has accumulated 32.73 B in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 0.09, which may suggest the company is not taking enough advantage from borrowing. Debt can assist National Bank until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, National Bank'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 National Bank sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for National to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about National Bank's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
