Why “Moderate relative risk”?
The measures below combine into a safety percentile of 60 among Healthcare companies. It is relative: 67 or more is lower relative risk, 33–66 moderate, below 33 higher.
A mix: stronger debt / equity, but weaker current ratio than most Healthcare peers.
▼fewer short-term assets to cover bills due within a year: weaker than 64% of peers. Current ratio: 1.81× vs peer median 2.59×
●Beta is not reported, so it is left out of the score.
▲less borrowing relative to shareholders' equity: stronger than 86% of peers. Debt / equity: 0.02× vs peer median 0.22×
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
