Quality score trend · recomputed for each fiscal year
Each year's score is computed from that year's filing — a rising Piotroski F or Altman Z″ means improving financial health, a fall is worth a look.
Beneish M-score: -1.62 — elevated (above the −1.78 line — aggressive-accounting signals worth a closer look) . A statistical screen for earnings manipulation, not proof — and it doesn't apply to most banks/insurers.
