Debt-to-Equity Ratio

Chord Energy’s Debt-to-Equity Ratio of 0.19x means the company uses $0.19 of debt for every $1 of shareholder equity, indicating very low financial leverage.

This ratio sits far below the energy sector median of 0.76x, placing Chord in the 6th percentile among peers, meaning almost all competitors carry more debt relative to equity. No year-over-year or quarter-over-quarter change data is available, so the trend direction cannot be assessed from the provided figures. The combination of an extremely low debt level and the absence of a trend suggests minimal default risk but also implies the company may be underutilizing debt to fund growth, offering a neutral risk profile. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict — the low leverage is a conservative positive, but it does not offset other factors that keep the stock rating neutral.
