Altman Z2 is not used for banks and financial companies — their balance sheet is built on debt (that is the business model), so the model would wrongly classify a healthy bank as distressed. For Riot Platforms, look instead at the capital base (e.g. the core capital ratio), loan losses and earnings power.
Does Riot Platforms have a lot of debt?
No, Riot Platforms has low debt relative to equity. The debt-to-equity ratio (D/E — interest-bearing debt to equity) is 25%. For the financial services sector, anything below 200% counts as low debt. Banks take in deposits (debt) as their raw material and lend it out — which naturally gives a high D/E. 200-400% is typical; only above 400% counts as elevated. Note: D/E levels are highly sector-specific — a bank at 300% debt is normal, a tech stock at 300% is extremely leveraged. Always compare with similar companies in the same sector.
