DISTRESS
Altman Z″
- Working capital / Total assets -3292.937 × 6.56 = -21601.67
- Retained earnings / Total assets 0.000 × 3.26 = +0.00
- EBIT / Total assets -0.002 × 6.72 = -0.01
- Book equity / Total liabilities -1.005 × 1.05 = -1.06
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.
