DISTRESS

Altman Z″

  • Working capital / Total assets 0.079 × 6.56 = +0.52
  • Retained earnings / Total assets 0.000 × 3.26 = +0.00
  • EBIT / Total assets -0.040 × 6.72 = -0.27
  • Book equity / Total liabilities 0.435 × 1.05 = +0.46

Bands: > 2.6 safe · 1.1–2.6 grey · < 1.1 distress. Z″ is a public-formula baseline, not a substitute for adverse-data signals (CCJs, charges, gazette notices) — those land in a later pass.
