When we think about Chesapeake Energy's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Chesapeake to invest in growth at high rates of return. However, a more frequent occurrence is when companies like Chesapeake Energy Corp sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. So, Chesapeake Energy's shareholders could walk away with nothing if the company can't fulfill its legal obligations to repay debt. Debt can assist Chesapeake Energy until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow.

The company has 2.8 B in debt with debt to equity (D/E) ratio of 0.52, which is OK given its current industry classification.
