The Piotroski score

The Piotroski F-Score is a financial scoring system that evaluates a company's financial strength using nine criteria. It measures profitability, leverage, liquidity, and operating efficiency, with each criterion scoring 1 point if it meets positive conditions. A score of 0-3 suggests weak financial health, 4-6 indicates average health, and 7-9 points to strong financial performance.

5 indicates moderate financial health

The Altman score

The Altman Z-Score is a formula used to assess a company's financial health and predict the risk of bankruptcy. It combines five financial ratios related to profitability, leverage, liquidity, and efficiency. A Z-Score below 1.8 suggests a high risk of bankruptcy, between 1.8 and 3 indicates moderate risk, and above 3 shows a low risk of financial distress.

1.88 indicates an uncertain financial situation
Cash / Debt

Cash Ratio

The cash ratio makes it possible to assess the wealth of a company and its short-term repayment capacity, as well as the time to be expected for this repayment.

0.27 indicates liquidity risk, as the company may not have enough cash to meet its immediate obligations

Debt Ratio

A company's debt ratio can be calculated by dividing total debt by total assets. A debt ratio of greater than 1.0 or 100% means a company has more debt than assets while a debt ratio of less than 100% indicates that a company has more assets than debt.

0.55 indicates a moderate level of debt, which is generally acceptable but may present some risk
Free Cash Flow

Free Cash Flow (FCF) is a financial metric that shows how much cash a company generates after covering its operating expenses and capital expenditures. It represents the cash available to the company for paying dividends, repaying debt, or investing in growth.

FCF = Operating Cash Flow - Capital Expenditures

This means that Free Cash Flow is the money left over after the company has paid for its day-to-day operations and invested in necessary assets like equipment or buildings. For example, if a company has an operating cash flow of $5 million and spends $2 million on capital expenditures, its Free Cash Flow is $3 million.

A higher Free Cash Flow means the company has more flexibility and financial strength, which is generally attractive for investors. It indicates that the company can generate enough cash to fund its growth or return value to shareholders.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings per Share (EPS) is a financial metric used to indicate how much profit a company makes for each share of its stock.

EPS = Net Profit / Number of Shares Outstanding

This means that EPS represents the portion of the company's profit assigned to each individual share. For example, if a company makes a profit of 1 million dollars and has 1 million shares outstanding, the EPS would be $1 per share.

A higher EPS generally means the company is more profitable on a per-share basis, which is usually a positive sign for investors.
