Signals

Two signals. The signal on the left, the evidence on the right.
+raises risk○neutral
raises risk · Bankruptcy closed
The Belgian State Gazette published the closure of the bankruptcy. The latest notice is dated 19-06-2024. The KBO register has not yet processed that closure. The register usually follows the Staatsblad later, so the newer publication in the Staatsblad prevails.
Belgian State Gazette
neutral · Filed after the deadline
The financial year that closed on 31-12-2021 was due by 31-07-2022 and was filed on 26-08-2022, 26 days later. For context: 47% of the Belgian market files late and the whole 1-to-90-day band measures 2.0% abnormal legal state against a 1.66% average. We show this as a fact and do not score it.
