Financial Profile 40/100

Based on FY2025 annual data. Scores normalized against common benchmarks. How we calculate these scores

Profitability

Research Solutions Inc has an operating margin of 5.1%, meaning the company retains $5 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This results in a moderate score of 34/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is up from -1.7% the prior year.

Growth

Research Solutions Inc's revenue grew 9.9% year-over-year to $49.1M, a solid pace of expansion. This earns a growth score of 50/100.

Leverage

Research Solutions Inc has a moderate D/E ratio of 2.31. This balance of debt and equity financing earns a leverage score of 55/100.

Liquidity

Research Solutions Inc's current ratio of 0.78 means current assets barely cover short-term liabilities. This tight liquidity results in a low score of 10/100, which could limit financial flexibility.

Altman Z-Score Distress

1.80

Research Solutions Inc scores 1.80, below the 1.81 distress threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($78.6M) relative to total liabilities ($32.2M). This indicates elevated financial distress risk and warrants close attention to liquidity and debt levels.

5/9

Research Solutions Inc passes 5 of 9 financial strength tests. All 4 profitability signals pass (positive income, cash flow, and earnings quality), no leverage/liquidity signals pass (rising debt, declining liquidity, or share dilution), 1 of 2 efficiency signals pass.

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed

5.55x
