Why “Lower relative risk”?
The measures below combine into a safety percentile of 78 among Technology companies. It is relative: 67 or more is lower relative risk, 33–66 moderate, below 33 higher.
Mainly thanks to its debt / equity, beta and current ratio, which are stronger than most Technology peers.
▲more short-term assets to cover bills due within a year: stronger than 63% of peers. Current ratio: 2.26× vs peer median 1.83×
▲a share price that has swung less with the market: stronger than 73% of peers. Beta: 0.51 vs peer median 0.87
▲less borrowing relative to shareholders' equity: stronger than 94% of peers. Debt / equity: 0.01× vs peer median 0.25×
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
