What is Piotroski F-Score?

Piotroski's F-Score is a fundamental analysis tool developed by Joseph Piotroski that evaluates a company's financial strength using 9 criteria. Each criterion scores 1 point if passed, 0 if failed, for a maximum score of 9.

The 9 Criteria

1. Positive Net Income - Company is profitable
2. Positive ROA - Assets are generating returns
3. Positive Operating Cash Flow - Company generates cash from operations
4. Cash Flow > Net Income - High-quality earnings (cash exceeds accounting profit)
5. Lower Long-Term Debt - Decreasing leverage (improving financial position)
6. Higher Current Ratio - Improving liquidity
7. No New Shares Issued - No dilution (or share buybacks)
8. Higher Gross Margin - Improving profitability efficiency
9. Higher Asset Turnover - More efficient use of assets

Score Interpretation

• 8-9: Excellent - Very strong financial health
• 6-7: Good - Strong financial health
• 4-5: Fair - Moderate financial health
• 0-3: Poor - Weak financial health

Output

Returns JSON with:

• score - F-Score (0-9)
• max_score - Maximum possible score (9)
• criteria - Detailed breakdown of each criterion with pass/fail status and values
• interpretation - Text description of financial health level
• data_available - Boolean indicating if year-over-year comparison data is available for criteria 5-9

Implementation Details
