HPK Leverage & Debt
Solvency and debt-coverage ratios — lower is generally safer
HighPeak Energy, Inc. carries a Debt/EBITDA ratio of 2.1x, which is manageable (14% below the sector average of 2.4x). Net debt stands at $1.0B ($1.2B total debt minus $162M cash). Interest coverage of just 1.0x is concerning — the company has limited headroom to absorb earnings volatility before struggling with debt service.
