Liquidity
Canadian Pacific cash flow analysis is essential to understand how it generates and spends money over a specific period. It can also help you figure out where your money is going and how much cash you have available at a given moment. The company reports 22.84 B of total liabilities with total debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 0.54, which is normal for its line of buisiness.

So, Canadian Pacific'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 Canadian Pacific Railway sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Canadian to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Canadian Pacific's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
