The FRISK® score is a game-changing tool that combines several key inputs to assess bankruptcy risk. The first of a five-part look at these inputs, here’s how the stock market plays a role.
Toys “R” Us filed for bankruptcy right before the holiday season in 2017 as suppliers began to restrict access to trade credit, setting in motion a liquidity crunch.
Our FRISK® Stress Index indicates that radio broadcasting stations widely remains a high risk industry. U.S.-based Cumulus Media Inc. (Nasdaq: CMLS), which currently holds a worst possible FRISK® score of “1,” is one of the most challenged names.
How can we be so sure of the accuracy? We measure it. Download this scorecard to see how the score performed in 2015 & 2016. In short – we predicted 98.6% of U.S. public company bankruptcies at least 90 days in advance.
CreditRiskMonitor delivers a highly accurate gauge of U.S. public company bankruptcy risk. During the preceding three calendar years from 2020 to 2022, out of 352 occurrences of bankruptcy, our proprietary FRISK® score only missed predicting 17 bankruptcies. That amounts to a 96% rate of success during that time.
