Why the denominator matters more than the ceiling

A 24-month trailing average of market capitalisation. Deliberately smooths the price swings that make a spot market-cap denominator volatile, at the cost of reacting more slowly.

The ceilings across all seven standards HTR computes sit between 30% and 33.333% — a three-point spread. The denominators differ far more: a company whose market capitalisation halves has a debt ratio that doubles under a market-cap standard and does not move at all under an asset-based one. That is why two honest screeners reach opposite verdicts on the same company, and the measured split is here.

What HTR could not establish

28,018 issuers carry an unverified result under this standard. Unverified is not a failure and is never counted as one.

  • 24,864 because a filing we hold does not contain a number this particular calculation needs.
  • 1,281 because the most recent filing we hold is too old to rely on.
  • 607 because the numbers failed a plausibility check — debt exceeding total liabilities, an implied interest rate outside any real range — and the engine declined to publish a verdict rather than publish a wrong one.
  • 1,266 with no reason recorded against them.

A standard measuring debt against a 36-month average market cap needs three years of market history; one measuring against total assets needs a balance sheet line that some filers report differently. Where the input is missing, the answer is that it is missing — and where the input is present but implausible, the answer is still that we do not know, which is the honest one.

Ordered by how many issuers pass, which is not a ranking. No standard here is better than another; they answer the same question with different definitions, and which definition applies to you is a question for your own scholarship, not for a screener.
