FUNDAMENTAL SCORE
77 / 100
Summary
General Dynamics reported revenue compounded at 10.1% a year (CAGR (compound annual growth rate)); net income compounded at 7.5% a year. Latest annual revenue rose 10.1% and latest annual net income rose 11.3%, and the most recent quarter posted $1.23B in net income, a 5.9% QoQ (quarter-over-quarter) improvement. Assets cover liabilities 1.81 times, providing a solid balance-sheet margin. The Altman Z-score is 4.38, which sits in the safe zone that begins at 2.99 while the distress threshold is 1.81. The Piotroski F-Score of 8 on a 0 to 9 quality scale is a strong earnings-quality reading, and the P/E (TTM) is 21.99 while EPS (TTM, Diluted) is $17.03, roughly in line with the S&P 500 average. The next earnings report must show whether net income growth sustains the recent acceleration or reverts to weaker year-to-year gains.

Data Source
This dashboard applies a modified 9-signal Piotroski F-Score (Piotroski, 2000) and Altman Z-Score models. Fundamental filing data is sourced from the SEC's EDGAR XBRL database (primary), with API Ninjas as backup for freshly-filed 10-Ks not yet in SEC. Live price, market cap, and EPS display use Tiingo end-of-day data. This page is informational analysis, not investment advice. See Financial Disclaimer.

Formula & Methodology
Trend inputAnnual revenue and net income year-over-year direction contributes 20% of the score.
Piotroski inputModified 9-test Piotroski F-Score (Quality) contributes 40% of the score.
Altman inputAltman Z-Score (Distress) contributes 40% of the score.
Rating ruleFormula: Trend (20%) + Piotroski F-Score (40%) + Altman Z-Score (40%). Trend blends annual revenue and net income year-over-year direction. Piotroski is the modified 9-test variant (7 classic + 2 cash-flow tests). Altman uses the 1968 Z-Score with Safe/Grey/Distress zones. Combined blend uses ±0.45 thresholds: Bullish at +0.45 or higher, Bearish at -0.45 or lower, Neutral in between. Missing sub-signals count as Neutral (0) and weights are not re-normalized — a company with fewer available signals must earn its rating from stronger reads on the remaining pillars.
