Debt-to-Equity Ratio

Permian Resources Corporation’s current Debt-to-Equity Ratio of 0.31x means the company uses $0.31 of debt for every $1.00 of shareholder equity, indicating a low level of borrowing relative to its own funds.

This is well below the Energy sector median of 0.83x, placing the company in the 19th percentile among its peers—meaning 81% of sector peers carry higher debt loads. The year-over-year change is not available, but the ratio declined by 6.1% quarter-over-quarter, showing a recent reduction in leverage. The combination of a low debt level and a declining trend implies a conservative financial stance that lowers balance-sheet risk, though it may also signal limited appetite for debt-financed expansion. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict: low leverage reduces downside risk and supports stability, but does not alone drive a bullish case in a capital-intensive sector.
