Debt-to-Equity Ratio

Denbury Inc.’s debt-to-equity ratio of 0.05x means the company uses very little debt compared to its shareholders’ equity—a low level of financial leverage that suggests minimal reliance on borrowed money.

Among energy sector peers, the sector median is 0.76x, and Denbury’s ratio places it at the 3rd percentile, meaning only 3% of peers have an even lower debt burden. No trend data is available; the year-over-year change and quarter-over-quarter change are both reported as N/A, so no direction can be inferred. The combination of an extremely low debt ratio with no trend history implies that the existing financial risk from leverage is negligible, but it also leaves investors without context on whether this conservatism is new or long-standing. This very low debt level is typically associated with lower risk, which directly contradicts the overall CAUTIOUS verdict on Denbury—other aspects of the business, not this metric, are driving the caution.
