Z″ factor contributions
X1 Working capital / assets
Short-term liquidity. Carries more weight in Z″ than in classic Z.
0.486.56 × = 3.12X2 Retained earnings / assets
Cushion from years of profits. Share buybacks can push this negative at otherwise healthy firms.
−1.373.26 × = −4.46X3 EBIT / assets
Operating return on assets. Highest weight in Z″.
−0.426.72 × = −2.80X4 Book equity / liabilities
Book equity versus the liability stack. Sales / assets is omitted so asset-light names are not punished for turnover.
0.791.05 × = 0.83
Five-year path
Need two annual 10-Ks to draw a path. The desk will pull this issuer’s filings rather than invent a series.
