Why “Higher relative risk”?
The measures below combine into a safety percentile of 3 among Financial Services companies. It is relative: 67 or more is lower relative risk, 33–66 moderate, below 33 higher.
Mainly because of its debt / equity, current ratio and beta, which are weaker than most Financial Services peers.
▼Shareholders' equity is negative, so debt/equity counts as among the highest in its peer group. Debt / equity: — vs peer median 0.57×
▼fewer short-term assets to cover bills due within a year: weaker than 85% of peers. Current ratio: 0.89× vs peer median 2.02×
▼a share price that has swung more with the market: weaker than 83% of peers. Beta: 1.24 vs peer median 0.70
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
