EBIT relative to total assets — the company's earning power before the effects of tax and financial leverage.
Capacity ratioAverage
Around the average of companies in the same industry
Shows how strongly fixed costs weigh on the gross result — a high ratio means fixed costs take only a small bite out of the earnings from basic operations.
Liquidity
Current ratioAverage
Around the average of companies in the same industry
Current assets relative to short-term debt — the ability to settle short-term obligations with current assets alone. Around 150% is considered satisfactory from a credit perspective.
Quick ratioAverage
Around the average of companies in the same industry
Current assets excluding inventory relative to short-term debt — whether the most liquid assets alone can cover the short-term obligations. A value of 1 or above signals a healthy liquidity position.

Fixed assets to long-term capitalStrong

Fixed assets relative to long-term capital (equity plus long-term liabilities). Below 100% means the long-term capital finances more than just the fixed assets — a healthier liquidity position.

Cash flow relative to profit — the ability to convert reported profits into accessible cash.
Debt & solvency
Solidity ratioAverage

Total debt relative to the balance-sheet total — the share of the assets financed by debt rather than equity.

Income to debtVery weak
Among the 20% lowest rated companies in the industry
