# Chord Energy Corporation (CHRD) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Energy / Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels. Price $146.39, market value $8.0 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 9.9×** (5-yr avg 28.6×, 3-yr avg 45.3×). Chord Energy Corporation trades at 9.9× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 28.6×: cheap by its own standards. The Energy median in the September 2026 study was 16.8×. Forward P/E is 10.3×, higher than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to fall.
- **Price / sales: 1.3×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 1.3×.
- **Price / book: 1.0×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **EV / EBITDA: 3.4×**. Enterprise value is 3.4× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Earnings yield: 10.1%**. The inverse of the P/E: 10.1% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: 19.0%**. 19.0% of revenue is left after running the business, a healthy level in most sectors.
- **Net margin: 0.9%**. 0.9% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 0.6%**. 0.6% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: 10.1%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 10.1%.
- **Return on assets: 6.5%**. Each dollar of assets produces 6.5% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -7.1%** (3-yr 10.2%/yr, 5-yr 20.4%/yr). Revenue fell 7.1% over the last year, against 20.4% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -95.4%** (3-yr -76.6%/yr). Earnings per share fell 95.4%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.18**. Debt is 0.18 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 0.5×**. It would take 0.5 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, within the comfortable range.
- **Altman Z-score: 2.25**. A Z-score of 2.25 is in the grey zone; not distressed, not clearly safe.
- **Piotroski F-score: 3/9**. 3 of 9 checks pass: weak or deteriorating financials.
