    Short-term liquidity versus the size of the balance sheet.

    0.36
    1.2 × = 0.44
  • X2 Retained earnings / assets

    Cushion from years of profits. Share buybacks can push this negative at otherwise healthy firms.

    1.4 × = 0.65

    Operating return on assets. Highest weight in the original model.

  • X4 Book equity / liabilities

    Book equity versus the liability stack. Mega-caps often look greyer here than they would if X4 used market cap.

Z plus liquidity (working capital / assets) and earnings (EBIT / assets) over the last 5 annual filings.

Overview

rule-v1

HARLEY-DAVIDSON, INC. is on classic Z at 2.07 (grey) for FY2025, from an SEC 10-K. Retained earnings / assets is the line that sets the print; sales / assets is the runner-up. It left distress into grey (+0.84 versus FY2024 1.24). 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.

MD&A excerpt

Management reports weaker motorcycle shipments in core North American dealer channels, with the financing captive absorbing more residual-value and credit risk. The MD&A notes a pullback in discretionary big-ticket retail and a plan to throttle production rather than load dealers. Liquidity is supported by the captive's wholesale funding, which also concentrates interest-rate sensitivity on the same balance sheet.

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.
