Growth

Sensient Tech's revenue declined 99.9% year-over-year, from $1.6B to $1.6M. This contraction results in a growth score of 0/100.

Leverage

Sensient Tech carries a low D/E ratio of 0.59, meaning only $0.59 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 89/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Liquidity

100

With a current ratio of 4.10, Sensient Tech holds $4.10 in current assets for every $1 of short-term obligations. This comfortable liquidity earns a score of 100/100.

Altman Z-Score Safe

2259.61

Sensient Tech scores 2259.61, well above the 2.99 safe threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($4.0B) relative to total liabilities ($1.1M). This indicates low bankruptcy risk based on profitability, leverage, and asset efficiency.
