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.
Arrow Financial financial leverage ratio helps determine the effect of debt on the overall profitability of the company. It measures the total debt position of Arrow Financial, including all of Arrow Financial's outstanding debt obligations, and compares it with the equity. In simple terms, the high financial leverage means the cost of production, together with running the business day-to-day, is high, whereas, lower financial leverage implies lower fixed cost investment in the business and generally considered by investors to be a good sign. So if creditors own a majority of Arrow Financial assets, the company is considered highly leveraged. Understanding the composition and structure of overall Arrow Financial debt and outstanding corporate bonds gives a good idea of how risky the capital structure of a business is and if it is worth investing in it.

However, we advise all investors to independently investigate Arrow Financial to ensure all accessible information is consistent with the expectations about its upside potential and future expected returns. Understanding different market volatility trends often help investors to time the market. Properly using volatility indicators enable traders to measure Arrow Financial's stock risk against market volatility during both bullish and bearish trends. The higher level of volatility that comes with bear markets can directly impact Arrow Financial's stock price while adding stress to investors as they watch their shares' value plummet. This usually forces investors to rebalance their portfolios by buying different stocks as prices fall.

Our Final Takeaway

While some firms in the banks—regional industry are either recovering or due for a correction, Arrow Financial may not be performing as strong as the other in terms of long-term growth potentials. While some sophisticated investors may not share our view we believe that the current risk-reward utility is not appealing enough to do any trading.
