Financial institution: outside the modelBankruptcy probability: sector outside the model

Checked score

Outside the general model
Model not applicable to financial institutions
The Checked score measures liquidity, leverage and margins against the norms for trading and manufacturing companies. A bank, insurer or financial holding has a very different balance sheet. Those ratios and the score mean nothing here. So there is no financial strength either.

Bankruptcy probability within 12 months

The company is a financial institution: a bank, insurer or financial holding. Its balance sheet works differently from that of a trading or manufacturing company. A bankruptcy probability from the general model would mislead here.

neutral
neutral · A punctual record breaks
This company filed 4 consecutive financial years on time. The year that closed on 31-12-2025 was due by 31-07-2026 and was filed on 14-08-2026, 14 days late. Weigh it accordingly: of the companies that move to filing 1 to 90 days late, 1.41% are now bankrupt, dissolved or in another special legal status, below the 1.66% of all filers. It is a change in behaviour, not evidence of elevated risk.
