Why are financial and holding companies scored differently?

Because banks, brokerages, insurers, and holding companies have profit structures and financial statements fundamentally different from ordinary manufacturing or service companies. A financial company's "revenue" does not mean what it means elsewhere, and ratios like debt-to-equity or the current ratio are poor comparison metrics for businesses whose deposits and insurance obligations are booked as liabilities by nature.

Maegim therefore scores financial and holding companies with a reduced indicator set that excludes revenue-based metrics (operating margin, revenue growth, current ratio, debt ratio). Rather than forcing a common yardstick and producing distorted grades, only the indicators that fit the industry are used — and the stock's page states that the reduced set applies.
