Warning Sign

-0.31

Reported profit and cash flow are moving in opposite directions. This is a major red flag associated with aggressive accounting, financial stress, or early-stage distress.

Most investors only look at net income, which companies can manipulate through accounting rules. Cash flow is harder to fake. A ratio above 1.0 means every dollar of profit is backed by real cash.
