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.

Overview

rule-v1

E.W. SCRIPPS Co is on Z″ at 0.60 (distress) for FY2025, from an SEC 10-K. Working capital / assets is the line that sets the print; retained earnings / assets is the runner-up. This is the first live year on the desk. No market tape loaded. Z″ drops sales/assets so asset-light names are not punished for turnover. X4 is book equity on every name.

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.
