Why “Moderate relative risk”?
The measures below combine into a safety percentile of 39 among Consumer Cyclical companies. It is relative: 67 or more is lower relative risk, 33–66 moderate, below 33 higher.
A mix: stronger current ratio, but weaker debt / equity than most Consumer Cyclical peers.
▼more borrowing relative to shareholders' equity: weaker than 81% of peers. Debt / equity: 1.17× vs peer median 0.46×
●Beta is close to the peer norm. Beta: 0.70 vs peer median 0.63
▲more short-term assets to cover bills due within a year: stronger than 67% of peers. Current ratio: 1.90× vs peer median 1.48×
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
