Why “Lower relative risk”?
The measures below combine into a safety percentile of 88 among Industrials companies. It is relative: 67 or more is lower relative risk, 33–66 moderate, below 33 higher.
Mainly thanks to its current ratio, which is stronger than most Industrials peers.
▼a share price that has swung more with the market: weaker than 77% of peers. Beta: 1.00 vs peer median 0.64
●Debt / equity is close to the peer norm. Debt / equity: 0.40× vs peer median 0.40×
▲more short-term assets to cover bills due within a year: stronger than 94% of peers. Current ratio: 4.64× vs peer median 1.62×
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.
