AGCO Corporation (NYSE:AGCO) is a notable player in its sector, leveraging debt as part of its financial strategy. The real concern revolves around the potential risks associated with this debt usage. Analyzing a company's debt is crucial, as excessive debt can pose significant challenges.

Debt can be beneficial for a business, provided it has a strategy to manage repayment through new capital or cash flow. The risk escalates when a company struggles to meet its obligations, potentially leading to severe consequences, such as bankruptcy or the need to issue shares at reduced prices. This situation can dilute shareholder value and undermine confidence in the company's financial health.

However, debt can also serve as a powerful tool for companies aiming to invest in growth opportunities with high returns. To effectively evaluate a company's financial strategy, it's essential to analyze its cash flow alongside its debt levels. This comprehensive approach offers a clearer picture of the company's risk exposure and overall financial stability.
