About This Comparison

Peer Group is sourced from the related-companies engine, which surfaces tickers that share news coverage and return correlations with the target stock. This catches non-obvious peer relationships that rigid GICS sector classifications often miss.

Composite Health Score is a 0–100 blended quality score combining the Piotroski F-Score (operational quality), Altman Z-zone (solvency), Beneish manipulation safety, Cash ROIC (cash quality), and Mohanram G-Score (growth quality). Weights redistribute when components are missing so the score remains comparable across peers.

Piotroski F-Score is a 9-point screen developed by accounting professor Joseph Piotroski. It evaluates profitability (ROA, operating cash flow, accruals), leverage and liquidity (debt ratio, current ratio, share dilution), and operating efficiency (gross margin, asset turnover). Scores of 7–9 indicate strong fundamentals; 0–3 suggest weakness.

Altman Z-Score is a bankruptcy distress predictor developed by professor Edward Altman. It combines five financial ratios — working capital, retained earnings, EBIT, market capitalization, and revenue — all relative to total assets. Above 2.99 suggests safety; below 1.81 indicates distress. The Z-Score is not applicable to financial-sector companies.

Beneish M-Score is an earnings-manipulation detector built from eight financial ratios covering accruals, margin trends, and asset quality. More negative is cleaner — below −2.22 is a normal range; above −1.78 enters the suspect zone. The model is famous for being able to flag Enron-style accounting issues years in advance.

Mohanram G-Score is an 8-point growth-quality screen designed for high-multiple companies. It tests profitability stability, R&D and capex intensity, and cash-flow consistency against industry peers. Scores of 6–8 indicate the strongest growth-quality foundation.

Sloan Accrual Ratio measures how much of reported earnings come from accruals rather than cash. High positive values are an earnings-quality red flag — accruals tend to revert and reported earnings unsupported by cash flow are less durable. Cash ROIC divides operating cash flow by invested capital — the cash-based version of ROIC, harder to manipulate than the accrual version. Magic Formula Rank is Joel Greenblatt's combined ranking on earnings yield (cheapness) and ROIC (capital efficiency); a lower rank means a better combination of value and quality across the universe.
