Z-score
The Z-score is used as a tool to determine the financial position and health of a company based on a formula which is a combination of five financial ratios. The z-score is used to understand the risk of bankruptcy for a company based on the probabilistic model. The Z-score introduced first by Altman helps to gauge and understand the credit strength of a publicly-traded manufacturing firm. The combination of liquidity, solvency, profitability, activity, and leverage helps to know the probability of a company becoming insolvent.
