Spirent Communications has a current ratio of 2.15, suggesting that it is liquid and has the ability to pay its financial obligations in time and when they become due. Debt can assist Spirent Communications until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Spirent Communications' 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 Spirent Communications sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Spirent to invest in growth at high rates of return.
