Current Ratio

The current ratio measures a company's ability to pay short-term obligations with its short-term assets; a value of 0.47x means Earthstone has only $0.47 in current assets for every $1.00 of current liabilities.

This places it well below the energy sector median of 0.91x and in the 9th percentile among peers, indicating a much weaker liquidity position than most competitors. No year-over-year, quarter-over-quarter change, or historical trend data is available for this metric, so no direction of improvement or deterioration can be assessed. The combination of a very low current ratio (0.47x) with no trend information points to elevated short-term liquidity risk, which typically raises concerns about the company's ability to meet upcoming debt payments. This metric directly contradicts the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as such a low ratio suggests a higher level of financial strain than a neutral stance would imply.
