Signals from the financial statements

calculated from the 2025 figures

  • Low equity ratio

    Equity makes up 7% of total assets in 2025.

    How is this calculated?

    Equity ÷ total assets is below 10% in the latest annual report. Banks, insurers and some industries naturally have a low ratio.

The signals are rules applied to the figures in the annual reports. They are not an assessment or credit rating of the company. See Data and method.
