Laurentian Bank has accumulated 44.57 B in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 3.77, implying the company greatly relies on financing operations through barrowing. Debt can assist Laurentian Bank until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Laurentian 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 Laurentian Bank sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Laurentian to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Laurentian Bank's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
