So far at least, ATH has shown no appetite for taking on debt and I think it's been their secret sauce for share price appreciation !
One thing that made my eyes water about the RBC article suggesting ATH needs a $billion for expansion - ATH has fcf of a third of a $billion per year at current oil prices so they can self fund if they decide expansion is worthwhile. That was simply a cheap slam by RBC.
ATH can run their 100% fcf NCIB for another year or two until they get their o/s share count down then self-fund expansion without ever taking on debt if they think expansion is meaningful to their bottom line.
just my two cents worth
go ATH go
