Classic Z factor contributions

  • X1 Working capital / assets

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

    0.18
    1.2 × = 0.22

  • X2 Retained earnings / assets

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

    0.03
    1.4 × = 0.04

  • X3 EBIT / assets

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

    0.06
    3.3 × = 0.21

  • X4 Book equity / liabilities

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

    0.35
    0.6 × = 0.21

  • X5 Sales / assets

    Asset turnover — how much revenue the asset base supports.

    0.77
