Overview

rule-v1

PFIZER INC is on classic Z at 1.65 (distress) for FY2025, from an SEC 10-K. Retained earnings / assets is the line that sets the print; book equity / liabilities is the runner-up. Versus FY2024 the live print is still distress (0.00 from 1.65). 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.
