COOLS TRANSPORT
The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability of COOLS TRANSPORT is 0.6% (low). The 2024 annual accounts show equity of €3.10M and a net result of €120k. Equity is growing by ~11.6% per year across the filed fiscal years. Its solvency ranks better than 55% of 192 sector peers (fiscal year 2024). The company has been active since 1984 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals.

The trend is a robust median of all pairwise slopes between fiscal years (Theil-Sen), so a single odd year cannot hijack the line. For strictly positive series we also fit a log variant (compound annual growth) and keep whichever describes the figures best.
The area around the projection is 1.8 × the median absolute deviation from the trend, widening each year ahead (×1 / ×1.6 / ×2.2), with a minimum of 8% of the last value. It is an indicative range, not a statistical confidence interval.
A series whose deviations exceed 35% of its level is too volatile: we then deliberately show no projection. Every projection assumes unchanged policy and is blind to non-public information (order book, contracts, funding rounds).
