Why the M-score can't be applied to financials[edit]

Financials are different from Industrials and Utilities. The cash flow statement has almost no relevance for financial companies. Financial companies don't have sales, inventory, and many other things that go into the M-Score calculation. This is true of many other financial summary scores like the Z-Score to predict bankruptcy -- they don't apply to financials. So, remove the "dubious" tag. I don't have a citation for you because this is so basic that I am amazed that it was even questioned. Davidmerkel (talk) 20:01, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
