Financial Health Signals

Financial Profile 43/100

Based on FY2025 annual data. Scores normalized against common benchmarks. How we calculate these scores

Profitability

Ambow Education Holding Ltd. has an operating margin of 1.2%, meaning the company retains $1 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This below-average margin results in a low score of 25/100, suggesting thin profitability after operating expenses. This is up from -7.7% the prior year.

Growth

Ambow Education Holding Ltd.'s revenue grew a modest 0.8% year-over-year to $9.5M. This slow but positive growth earns a score of 35/100.

Leverage

Ambow Education Holding Ltd. carries a low D/E ratio of 0.33, meaning only $0.33 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 95/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Liquidity

Ambow Education Holding Ltd.'s current ratio of 2.20 indicates adequate short-term liquidity, earning a score of 40/100. The company can meet its near-term obligations, though with limited headroom.

Cash Flow

While Ambow Education Holding Ltd. generated $137K in operating cash flow, capex of $600K consumed most of it, leaving -$463K in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 13/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.

Returns

Ambow Education Holding Ltd.'s ROE of 16.5% shows moderate profitability relative to equity, earning a score of 48/100. This is up from 4.6% the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Distress

-33.12

Ambow Education Holding Ltd. scores -33.12, below the 1.81 distress threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($6.8M) relative to total liabilities ($12.5M). This indicates elevated financial distress risk and warrants close attention to liquidity and debt levels.

Piotroski F-Score Neutral

5/9

Ambow Education Holding Ltd. passes 5 of 9 financial strength tests. 3 of 4 profitability signals pass, 1 of 2 leverage/liquidity signals pass, 1 of 2 efficiency signals pass.

Earnings Quality Low Quality

0.10x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Ambow Education Holding Ltd. generates $0.10 in operating cash flow ($137K OCF vs $1.4M net income). This low ratio suggests earnings are primarily driven by accounting accruals rather than cash generation, which may not be sustainable.

Interest Coverage At Risk

1.1x

Ambow Education Holding Ltd. earns $1.1 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($112K vs $103K). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
