Classic Z factor contributions
X1 Working capital / assets
Short-term liquidity versus the size of the balance sheet.
0.631.2 × = 0.76X2 Retained earnings / assets
Cushion from years of profits. Share buybacks can push this negative at otherwise healthy firms.
0.411.4 × = 0.57X3 EBIT / assets
Operating return on assets. Highest weight in the original model.
−0.063.3 × = −0.21X4 Book equity / liabilities
Book equity versus the liability stack. Mega-caps often look greyer here than they would if X4 used market cap.
3.490.6 × = 2.09X5 Sales / assets
Asset turnover — how much revenue the asset base supports.
0.671 × = 0.67

Overview
rule-v1
ASCENT INDUSTRIES CO. is on classic Z at 3.88 (safe) for FY2025, from an SEC 10-K. Book equity / liabilities is the line that sets the print. This is the first live year on the desk. 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.
