The Piotroski F-Score is a financial scoring system developed by accounting professor Joseph Piotroski to assess a company's financial health and strength. The F-Score is calculated based on nine accounting-based criteria that measure various aspects of a company's financial statements. These criteria include profitability, leverage, liquidity, and operating efficiency. Each criterion receives a score of 0 or 1, and the total F-Score ranges from 0 to 9. Traders and investors use the Piotroski F-Score to identify financially robust companies and uncover investment opportunities. A higher F-Score suggests stronger financial conditions and may indicate a company with improving fundamentals. Conversely, a lower score might signal financial weakness. |
