An index of corporate financial performance

The 乐鱼(Leyu)体育官网 FPI distills a range of market and financial performance indicators into a single index covering nearly 34,000 public companies around the world. The index scores companies on a scale of zero to 100, with zero indicating serious distress and 100 being best-performing.

Since many companies tend to perform well for most of their lifespans, there is a natural survivorship bias towards a higher quartile score. As such, around 80 percent of the companies in our index score between 85 and 99. As the 乐鱼(Leyu)体育官网 FPI is a logit model, a drop below the average can very quickly lead to an index score of zero. Please refer to the full report for full details.
