Why “Moderate relative risk”?
The measures below combine into a safety percentile of 57 among Healthcare companies. It is relative: 67 or more is lower relative risk, 33–66 moderate, below 33 higher.
A mix: stronger current ratio and debt / equity, but weaker beta than most Healthcare peers.
▼a share price that has swung more with the market: weaker than 84% of peers. Beta: 1.22 vs peer median 0.63
▲less borrowing relative to shareholders' equity: stronger than 67% of peers. Debt / equity: 0.10× vs peer median 0.22×
▲more short-term assets to cover bills due within a year: stronger than 71% of peers. Current ratio: 4.66× vs peer median 2.59×
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
