Van de Mergel
Van de Mergel is a financial institution; the bankruptcy model is trained on trading and manufacturing companies and does not apply here. The 2025 annual accounts show equity of €206k and a net result of €180k. Equity is growing by ~87.3% per year across the filed fiscal years. Its solvency ranks better than 50% of 87 sector peers (fiscal year 2025). The company has been active since 2022 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals.

| Net result | €180k |
| Staff (FTE) | 3.9 |
| Better than sector | 50% |
Strong profile, led by profitability.
Computed on 4 of 5 axes. Not measured: health. An unmeasured axis is not a zero: no data was read for it.
This is a financial institution (bank, insurer or financial holding). Our bankruptcy model is trained on ordinary trading and manufacturing companies; a bank balance sheet falls outside that scope. We therefore show no bankruptcy probability rather than a misleading figure.
How do we compute this?
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).
