Aecon Management Efficiency

Aecon's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Aecon manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
Aecon Group has accumulated 694.8 M in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 1.1, which is about average as compared to similar companies. Aecon Group has a current ratio of 1.35, which is within standard range for the sector. Debt can assist Aecon until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Aecon'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 Aecon Group sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Aecon to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Aecon's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
