Why “Higher relative risk”?
The measures below combine into a safety percentile of 19 among Consumer Cyclical 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 Consumer Cyclical peers.
▼a share price that has swung more with the market: weaker than 98% of peers. Beta: 2.13 vs peer median 0.63
▼fewer short-term assets to cover bills due within a year: weaker than 87% of peers. Current ratio: 0.89× vs peer median 1.48×
▲less borrowing relative to shareholders' equity: stronger than 64% of peers. Debt / equity: 0.30× vs peer median 0.46×
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
