Z-Score

Definition

The Altman Z-Score, developed by economist Edward Altman, predicts the probability of bankruptcy by combining several key financial ratios. A higher score indicates lower financial risk and greater stability, while a low score suggests potential distress. Generally, a score above 3.0 is considered safe, between 1.8 and 3.0 indicates a gray zone, and below 1.8 signals a high risk of bankruptcy.

Safe Zone> 3.0
Gray Zone1.8 – 3.0
Distress Zone< 1.8
