The company has accumulated 119.93 B in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 0.14, which may suggest the company is not taking enough advantage from borrowing. Debt can assist Bank of Nova Scotia until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Bank of Nova Scotia'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 Bank of Nova Scotia sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Bank to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Bank of Nova Scotia's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
