What Is the Balance Sheet Health Score? — How to read

The large number in the center (0-100) is the overall score; the band label above it (Strong / Moderate / Weak) gives a color-coded summary. The list on the right shows each of the five components as a mini-bar with its individual 0-100 normalized score (color breakpoints: ≥80 green, ≥60 light green, ≥40 amber, <40 red). The overall badge band uses ≥75 / 50–74 / <50 — the two use different thresholds. The green/yellow/red ring around the circle reflects the same band as the score — for at-a-glance reading. Hover any component to see its definition; for deeper drill-down, open the balance sheet metrics section below.

What Is the Balance Sheet Health Score? — Watch out for

One component hitting 100 does not rescue the score: e.g. Cash/Debt may be high while Debt/Equity is extreme — the overall score drops. Always read the component mini-bars. The score is computed from the latest period only; to see the trend, use the 'Metrics Trend Heatmap' below — deterioration or improvement patterns surface there even when the score looks stable. It ignores sector differences: banks operate at high leverage and will look artificially weak here. In that case lean on the 'Peer Comparison' panel.

What Is the Balance Sheet Health Score?

Balance Sheet Health Score is a composite 0-100 indicator built from four core ratios (current ratio, debt/equity, equity ratio, cash/debt) plus normalized working-capital level, averaged after threshold scoring. It summarizes short-term liquidity and long-term leverage in a single intuitive number so you don't get tunnel-visioned on one ratio.

Threshold ranges

≥ 75Strong balance sheet — liquidity and leverage both healthy (badge band).
50 – 74Moderate — one or two components may be weak.
< 50Weak — meaningful signals on the liquidity/leverage side.
