Arrow Financial currently holds 20 M in liabilities with Debt to Equity (D/E) ratio of 0.09, which may suggest Arrow Financial is not taking enough advantage from borrowing. Debt can assist Arrow Financial until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Arrow Financial'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 Arrow Financial sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Arrow to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Arrow Financial's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
