Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited's current ratio 0.599 indicates that its cash reserves and current assets may not be sufficient to cover short-term debt. This suggests possible liquidity challenges and may require Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited to secure additional financing to meet its immediate obligations.
HINDPETRO's high debt-to-equity ratio signals that the company is heavily leveraged. This suggests HINDPETRO may be relying more on debt than equity to finance its operations, which could expose the company to greater financial risk in challenging economic conditions.
With HINDPETRO's forward EPS higher than its trailing EPS, the company is expected to be more profitable in the current financial year. This signals confidence in HINDPETRO's growth potential, as improved earnings are forecasted compared to the prior year's performance.
