Deep Analysis
Denbury Inc.’s current ratio of 0.52x means the company has only $0.52 in current assets for every $1.00 of current liabilities, indicating a tight liquidity position to cover short-term obligations.
Among Energy sector peers, this ratio sits well below the sector median of 0.91x, placing Denbury in the 12th percentile — meaning 88% of peers have a higher current ratio. Trend data is not available: the year-over-year change is N/A and the quarter-over-quarter change is N/A, so no direction can be inferred from recent periods. The combination of a low liquidity level and the absence of trend information points to a structural weakness in short-term financial flexibility without any recent improvement to offset it. This metric directly supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict, as the current ratio’s depressed level signals heightened risk of encountering difficulty meeting immediate obligations.
