Why “Lower relative risk”?
The measures below combine into a safety percentile of 89 among Financial Services companies. It is relative: 67 or more is lower relative risk, 33–66 moderate, below 33 higher.
Mainly thanks to its current ratio and debt / equity, which are stronger than most Financial Services peers.

▲less borrowing relative to shareholders' equity: stronger than 72% of peers. Debt / equity: 0.17× vs peer median 0.57×

Risk is relative to the sector, not a bankruptcy probability. Banks and brokers carry high leverage by design, and share buybacks can shrink equity and current assets, which raises debt/equity on paper.

A metric that is not reported is left out of the score; the other weights are rescaled.
