Frequently asked questions
What is the Altman Z-Score used for?
It's a formula that combines five financial ratios from a company's balance sheet and income statement to estimate its likelihood of going bankrupt within the next two years.
What is a good Altman Z-Score?
A score above 2.99 is considered 'safe' (low bankruptcy risk), 1.81 to 2.99 is a 'grey zone' of moderate risk, and below 1.81 signals high distress risk.
What does a low Altman Z-Score mean?
A score below 1.81 suggests a company is in the 'distress zone' and has a relatively high statistical probability of filing for bankruptcy within two years.
Can the Altman Z-Score be negative?
Yes. Heavy losses, negative working capital, or negative retained earnings can push the score below zero, indicating severe financial distress.
Is the Altman Z-Score reliable for all companies?
Not equally. The original model was built for manufacturing firms, and modified versions exist for private companies, non-manufacturers, and emerging markets, so results should be interpreted alongside other financial analysis.
