Ratio Scoring: An Application to Ratios Specified by Standard & Poor’s to be Key Input to Determining Credit RatingsT. Shawn StrotherZayed University Samuel L. TibbsAmerican University of Sharjah - School of Business and Management March 17, 2011 Journal of Applied Finance, Forthcoming Abstract: We create a simple method to score ratios based on relative performance. As an example, we apply the technique to ratios identified by Standard & Poor’s as key inputs to determining credit ratings. Our results show that relative scoring produces information not captured by typical ratio analysis employed to set credit ratings. In the case of Standard & Poor’s credit ratings, our ratio scoring technique predicts future rating changes better than the underlying raw ratios.
