About the Piotroski F-Score
The Piotroski F-Score is a financial strength scoring system developed by accounting professor Joseph Piotroski. It uses 9 binary (pass/fail) criteria to assess a company's fundamental health, producing a score from 0 to 9.
Profitability (F1-F4)
- F1: Return on Assets (ROA) is positive
- F2: Operating Cash Flow is positive
- F3: ROA is improving year-over-year
- F4: Cash flow from operations exceeds net income (quality of earnings)
Leverage & Liquidity (F5-F7)
- F5: Long-term debt is decreasing
- F6: Current ratio is improving
- F7: No new shares issued (no dilution)
Operating Efficiency (F8-F9)
- F8: Gross margin is improving
- F9: Asset turnover is improving
Interpretation: Scores of 7-9 indicate strong financial health. Scores of 4-6 are moderate. Scores of 0-3 suggest weak fundamentals. The F-Score is most commonly used alongside value investing strategies — combining a low P/E with a high F-Score can identify undervalued, financially strong companies.
