Why “Higher relative risk”?
The measures below combine into a safety percentile of 14 among Basic Materials companies. It is relative: 67 or more is lower relative risk, 33–66 moderate, below 33 higher.
Mainly because of its beta and current ratio, which are weaker than most Basic Materials peers.
▼a share price that has swung more with the market: weaker than 97% of peers. Beta: 1.95 vs peer median 0.69
▼fewer short-term assets to cover bills due within a year: weaker than 88% of peers. Current ratio: 0.87× vs peer median 1.76×
▲less borrowing relative to shareholders' equity: stronger than 89% of peers. Debt / equity: 0.02× vs peer median 0.36×
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.

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
