Increased debt increases the leverage factor in a company. During normal or boom times, leverage results in exponential profit returns. During recessions, leverage can result in exponential losses, as well. A large debt burden carries risk because of the reaction of leverage to the prevailing economic conditions. Increased debt favors ROE during boom times but hurts ROE during recessions.
