Historical observation

Of the 496 companies that looked in July 2024 the way this one looks now, 1.2% went bankrupt within 24 months and 95% are still going.

Small
20 years or older
solvency under 10%
a profit of 5% of the balance sheet or more

1.2% went bankrupt

3.2% stopped otherwise

95% still going

A further 0.4% stopped, but we cannot tell whether within those 24 months.

For this company itself Checked computes a bankruptcy probability of 0.3% over twelve months; the group does not contradict it.

How reliable is this rule?

Tested on the year before, without using that year itself: the groups of July 2023 gave each of the 497,058 companies of July 2024 its group's bankruptcy share. Expected: 1.5%; actually bankrupt within 24 months: 1.6%.

The companies in ten equal groups, from lowest to highest expected share.
Group	Expected	Actual
1	0.2%	0.2%
2	0.3%	0.4%
3	0.5%	0.5%
4	0.6%	0.7%
5	0.8%	0.9%
6	1.2%	1.3%
7	1.5%	1.6%
8	1.7%	1.7%
9	2.7%	2.8%
10	5.3%	5.7%

The rule ranks well: a company that went bankrupt got a higher share than one that kept going in 74% of comparisons. The level follows the economy: in a year with more bankruptcies, the actual share is higher than the year before.

An observation about 496 comparable companies, not a prediction for this company. The sector does not count: the register keeps no sector for companies that stopped, so it would make the outcome look better than it was.
