Thales SA has accumulated 5.35 B in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 0.69, which is about average as compared to similar companies. Thales SA has a current ratio of 1.0, suggesting that it may have difficulties to pay its financial obligations in time and when they become due. Debt can assist Thales SA until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Thales SA'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 Thales SA sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Thales to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Thales SA's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
