I dug up Noble's 3Q results statement to examine its balance sheet strength at the moment.
Debts
Short Term Bank loans: US$843 million
Convertible Bonds: US$306 million
Long Term Bank Loans: US$2,099 million
Senior Notes: US$2,678 million
Total Debt: US$5,926 million
Liquid Assets
Cash: US$2,187 million
Readily Marketable Inventories: US$2,712 million
Total Liquid Assets: US$4,899 million
I am not too sure how the latest acquisitions will impact its balance sheet. Wasn't it planning to dump some assets into Gloucester previously ? The balance sheet isn't terrible. It looks like a pretty normal balance sheet for high growth companies. Take note that the bulk of the Senior Notes are due in 2015 and 2020.
