How This Score Was Computed

Too few components could be scored for a weighted composite, but the balance sheet is unambiguous: no meaningful debt, $133M cash and $1.0B equity. Score set to 1 (Low) directly.

Interest Coverage Ratio
Coverage is negative, but debt is minimal or fully covered by cash on hand — weak coverage isn't a refinancing signal here, so the component is excluded rather than penalised.
