Why “Lower relative risk”?
The measures below combine into a safety percentile of 96 among Technology 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 Technology peers.
●Beta is close to the peer norm. Beta: 0.83 vs peer median 0.87
▲less borrowing relative to shareholders' equity: stronger than 74% of peers. Debt / equity: 0.06× vs peer median 0.25×
▲more short-term assets to cover bills due within a year: stronger than 98% of peers. Current ratio: 11.65× vs peer median 1.83×
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
