WSP Global has accumulated 4.26 B in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 0.57, which is about average as compared to similar companies. WSP Global has a current ratio of 1.14, suggesting that it may not have the ability to pay its financial obligations in time and when they become due. Debt can assist WSP Global until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, WSP Global'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 WSP Global sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for WSP to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about WSP Global's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.

This measure is expressed in what is known as the correlation coefficient, which ranges between -1 and +1.
