The Altman Z-score is the output of a credit-strength test that gauges a publicly traded manufacturing company's likelihood of bankruptcy.
Z-Score = 1.2A + 1.4B + 3.3C + 0.6D + 1.0E
- A = working capital / total assets
- B = retained earnings / total assets
- C = earnings before interest and tax / total assets
- D = market value of equity / total liabilities
- E = sales / total assets
Or Bloomberg – Ticker <equity> AZS <go>
