Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum F-Score?
The maximum score is 9.
Does a high score guarantee strong future returns?
No. It is a financial-strength screening framework, not a return guarantee.
Should the score be used alone?
No. Valuation, business quality and industry conditions should also be considered.
How to Read a Piotroski F-Score
The F-Score combines nine binary accounting signals covering profitability, leverage/liquidity and operating efficiency. It is a screening framework based on historical financial statements, not a complete valuation model or prediction of future returns. Data consistency and accounting period selection matter.
