Classic Z factor contributions
X1 Working capital / assets
Short-term liquidity versus the size of the balance sheet.
0.001.2 × = 0.00X2 Retained earnings / assets
Cushion from years of profits. Share buybacks can push this negative at otherwise healthy firms.
0.561.4 × = 0.79X3 EBIT / assets
Operating return on assets. Highest weight in the original model.
0.063.3 × = 0.19X4 Book equity / liabilities
Book equity versus the liability stack. Mega-caps often look greyer here than they would if X4 used market cap.
0.320.6 × = 0.19X5 Sales / assets
Asset turnover — how much revenue the asset base supports.
0.431 × = 0.43
Five-year path
Z plus liquidity (working capital / assets) and earnings (EBIT / assets) over the last 5 annual filings.
Overview
rule-v1
DEERE & CO is on classic Z at 1.61 (distress) for FY2025, from an SEC 10-K. Retained earnings / assets is the line that sets the print. Versus FY2024 the live print is still distress (−0.05 from 1.66). No market tape loaded. Classic Z was fit on manufacturers; buybacks can send retained earnings negative at otherwise healthy issuers, and X4 is book equity, not market cap.
Book screen Distress; market PD —. Tape not priced — not a single default call.
Market DD · naive Merton
No market tape yet.
Pull a year of closes (Yahoo, Nasdaq if Yahoo is limited) and size equity from Nasdaq cap or EDGAR shares. Distance-to-default and 1-year PD stay blank until then.
