Suppose a NASDAQ equity XYZ.



Question :




  • How can we assess the susceptibility of a company to go bankrupt? Are there good criteria that we can trust? What about the Buffett indicator?


  • How to evaluate the viability of a company on the stock market?

Since the stock is listed on NASDAQ, you have access to fairly standard 10Q and 10K financial statements. So you can apply the analysis pioneered by Ed Altman in his Z-score paper - compare this company's fundamental ratios with those of other companies, and see how many of them went bankrupt historically. For example, Moody's KMV uses this approach to estimate "EDF" (expected default frequency) for many corporate credits.

    I have been told:



    Bankruptcy is so very controversial.



    You might track companies ratios (e.g., debt to equity ratio, EPS, net income, etc.). For instance, GE looks almost bankrupt. But, its not and there is a very low probability that GE would file for any bankruptcy chapter, I'm just guessing.



    There are many companies, especially in OTC markets, that many investors consider them "bankrupt", but "they are not" and their equities are being traded, e.g. OTCMKTS: HMNY. Usually, theses companies are destined to takeover, involuntary M&As, and so.



    Also, there are types of bankruptcies that you might take into account, not to mention the complexity of U.S. bankruptcy courts. Majority of good companies are incorporated in Delaware, which has a fairly advanced court to protect shareholders (e.g., Delaware Court of Chancery).



    Pharmaceutical sector might be good to look into. You can use stock screener tools to filter and find companies that are in serious financial situations. In fact, many small-account retail traders love to trade their equities since they are usually oversold.




    My favorites screeners are:



    Finviz



    TradingView



    Also, you can collect data from so many analyst websites. Such as:



    Zacks.com



    Barrons



    Seeking Alpha



    Thomson



    GE Finviz
