Why “Lower relative risk”?
The measures below combine into a safety percentile of 70 among Communication Services companies. It is relative: 67 or more is lower relative risk, 33–66 moderate, below 33 higher.
Mainly thanks to its debt / equity, which is stronger than most Communication Services peers.
●Current ratio is close to the peer norm. Current ratio: 1.45× vs peer median 1.38×
▲less borrowing relative to shareholders' equity: stronger than 72% of peers. Debt / equity: 0.01× vs peer median 0.37×
●Beta is not reported, so it is left out of the score.
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.
