Why “Moderate relative risk”?
The measures below combine into a safety percentile of 53 among Technology companies. It is relative: 67 or more is lower relative risk, 33–66 moderate, below 33 higher.
A mix: stronger current ratio, but weaker beta than most Technology peers.
▼a share price that has swung more with the market: weaker than 77% of peers. Beta: 1.32 vs peer median 0.87
●Debt / equity is close to the peer norm. Debt / equity: 0.36× vs peer median 0.25×

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
