Z″ factor contributions
X1 Working capital / assets
Short-term liquidity. Carries more weight in Z″ than in classic Z.
−0.076.56 × = −0.46X2 Retained earnings / assets
Cushion from years of profits. Share buybacks can push this negative at otherwise healthy firms.

Operating return on assets. Highest weight in Z″.
0.206.72 × = 1.31X4 Book equity / liabilities
Book equity versus the liability stack. Sales / assets is omitted so asset-light names are not punished for turnover.
1.171.05 × = 1.23
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.
