Why “Lower relative risk”?
The measures below combine into a safety percentile of 86 among Communication Services companies. It is relative: 67 or more is lower relative risk, 33–66 moderate, below 33 higher.

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.
