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?

I have been told:
Bankruptcy is so very controversial.
You might track companies ratios (e.g., debt to equity ratio
, EPS
, net income
, cash per share (cash/sh)
, etc.). For instance, GE looks almost bankrupt. But, it is 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, when it comes to public firms Wikipedia. Majorities of top public companies are incorporated in Delaware, which has a fairly advanced court system to protect shareholders (e.g., Delaware Court of Chancery).
Companies in pharmaceutical sector might be good to look into since they usually develop high-risk products that may not succeed. You may use stock screener
tools to filter companies based on any criteria you wish and find those that are in serious financial situations. In fact, many small-account retail traders love to trade their equities, since they are usually oversold

Is cash flow from ops anywhere on that sheet? I might be going blind, but if it isn't there - I'd say it is fairly important. You can run at a loss on balance, but still be bringing in cash by the bucketful. Cash is king.

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.
