Overview

rule-v1

METHODE ELECTRONICS INC is on classic Z at 2.28 (grey) for FY2026, from an SEC 10-K. Sales / assets is the line that sets the print; book equity / liabilities is the runner-up. Versus FY2025 the live print is still grey (0.00 from 2.28). 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 Grey; 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.
