What Each Model Measures
Piotroski F-Score (0-9)
Created by Joseph Piotroski, this tests 9 binary criteria across profitability, leverage/liquidity, and operating efficiency. A score of 7+ indicates strong financial health. Used to separate high-quality value stocks from potential value traps.
Altman Z-Score
Developed by Edward Altman, this formula predicts the probability of bankruptcy within two years. It combines five financial ratios (working capital, retained earnings, EBIT, market value of equity, and sales) weighted against total assets. Above 3.0 is safe, below 1.8 signals distress.
Beneish M-Score
Developed by Messod Beneish, this model detects the likelihood of earnings manipulation using 8 financial ratios. A score above -1.78 flags potential manipulation. ValueMarkers enforces a hard floor: when the Beneish M-Score exceeds -1.78, the safety score is capped at 30.
