Why “Lower relative risk”?
The measures below combine into a safety percentile of 99 among Healthcare 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 Healthcare peers.

▲less borrowing relative to shareholders' equity: stronger than 77% of peers. Debt / equity: 0.04× vs peer median 0.22×
▲more short-term assets to cover bills due within a year: stronger than 98% of peers. Current ratio: 33.12× vs peer median 2.59×
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.
Scores are sector-relative percentiles from the latest snapshot, always calculated against the whole sector: narrowing the comparison group changes who you compare with, not the scores. Missing metrics are left out and the remaining weights rescaled. How we score
