Financial Score

The score data type returns two financial scores for a stock: the Altman's Z-Score and the Piotroski F-Score in conjunction with the underlying metrics used to calculate these scores. These scores are used to evaluate the financial health and performance of a company. The Altman's Z-Score is a measure of a company's likelihood of bankruptcy, while the Piotroski F-Score is a measure of a company's financial strength and profitability.

=SF(symbol, "score", metric, "", options)
  • symbol is the ticker symbol of the financial asset (e.g., "AAPL"). You can use our Symbol Search to find the correct ticker symbol.

  • metric selects what metrics to display (see options below), display all metrics by leaving blank or using "all". Chain together as many metrics as you'd like using &, e.g., "date&zScore&fScore".

  • options adjusts the formatting of the output. Available options include: "NH" for no header rows and "NLI" for no line items. You can chain together as many options as you'd like using &, e.g., "NH&NLI".

The score metric options are:

  • All ("all")

  • Revenue ("revenue")

  • Total Liabilities ("totalLiabilities")

  • Market Capitalization ("marketCap")

  • EBIT ("ebit")

  • Retained Earnings ("retainedEarnings")

  • Total Assets ("totalAssets")

  • Working Capital ("workingCapital")

  • Piotroski F-Score ("piotroskiScore")

  • Altman's Z-Score ("altmanZScore")

Important: The Altman's Z-Score and Piotroski F-Score are calculated based on the financial data of the company and are used as indicators of financial health and performance.
