The purpose of this paper is to predict the financial distress of companies of the Indian textile sector using Altman Z score. The analysis conducted on 161 listed textile companies in India for a period of 10 years from 2009 to 2018. All the listed companies are categorized into large, medium, and small using the median split method based on the size of total assets. Kruskal Wallis test is applied to test whether the mean z-score is different for each category of companies. This research study shows that majority of the companies in the Indian textile sector are facing financial distress. Further, it shows that the z score of small, medium, and large-scale textile companies in India is significantly different.

Financial distress is a matter of concern in the recent period as Vietnam gradually enters global markets. This paper aims to examine the factors of Altman Z-score to detect the financial distress of Vietnamese listed companies. The authors use a sample of 30 delisted companies due to financial problems and 30 listed companies on the Vietnamese stock market from 2015 to 2018. They employ Independence Samples T-test to test the research model. It is found that there are significant differences in the factors of Altman Z-score between the group of listed companies and the group of delisted companies. Further analyses using subsamples of delisted companies show that the factors of Altman Z-score are also statistically different between companies with a low level of financial distress and those with a high level of financial distress. Based on the results, there are some suggestions to assist practitioners and the State Securities Commission in detecting, preventing, and strictly controlling financially distressed businesses. These results also enable users of financial statements to make more rational economic decisions accordingly.

People are not moving a lot during this pandemic, and they also discovered that they might stay this way in some occasions. It is affecting the petrol sector, maybe one of the most affected in the pandemic, because of the social isolation.

 AbstractBusinesses across the globe faces challenges to ensure stability, growth and sustainability. Companies have to deal with changes in economic, social, cultural, political and technological environment. Companies failing to do may face financial distress causing default in payment of contractual obligations and erosion of shareholders wealth. In a business scenario where the stakeholders are many viz. shareholders, lenders, employees, government and society at large, protection of the interests of the stakeholders assume prime importance. Company’s management are expected to identify signals that indicate distress and take remedial measures. This paper attempts to identify distress signals in textile sector in India. Textile sector is one of the largest sector in India. However one third of companies in this sector have reported losses for the previous year. This study aims to examine the factors that can differentiate a distressed company from a non- distressed company so that the factors signifying distress can be studied. Listed companies in textile sector incurring continuous losses for three years were selected for the study. Financial ratios were used as variables. Logistic regression was applied to identify the most important factors indicating distress. It was observed that ratios measuring profitability and efficiency were significant in predicting distress. Key words:  Financial distress, distress signals, textile sector, continuous losses, financial ratios

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of corporate governance index (PAKCGI) on firm financial distress for a sample of 152 non-financial firms listed at Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) over the period from 2003 to 2017. Design/methodology/approach To examine the impact of PAKCGI on financial distress (Altman Z-Score), random effect model is applied. The PAKCGI is a self-constructed index based on the five important factors of corporate governance practices, i.e. board of directors, audit committees, right of shareholders, disclosures and risk management. The binary coding approach is adopted for the construction of PAKCGI. Altman Z-Score model is used as a proxy for financial distress indicator. The absolute value of Altman Z-score has been taken as financial distress indicator. Findings The outcomes of the study indicate a positive impact of PAKCGI on risk of firms’ financial distress. The positive coefficient of PAKCGI implies that the good corporate practices work as catalyst to reduce risk of financial distress in Pakistan. A significant negative impact of block holders on financial distress suggests that the concentrated block ownership take monopolistic decision to protect their interests. It has also been observed that significant positive impact of institutional ownership on financial distress exists in the Pakistani listed firms. Furthermore, this study also reveals that significant negative association between board size, CEO duality and financial distress indicator. Research limitations/implications The findings may encourage the Pakistani listed companies to follow and implement good corporate governance practices, which would lead to increase the confidence of investors, regulators and stakeholders. Originality/value The current study extends the corporate governance literature by examining the relationship between the corporate governance attributes and the financial distress status of Pakistani listed companies. From the academic perspective, this paper adds to the knowledge concerning the association between corporate governance practices and risk of financial distress in emerging markets.

This study aims to measure the financial distress and forewarn bankruptcy in Textile Sector of Pakistan using popular statistical measures i.e., Z-Score, O-Score, Probit and D-Score. First, applicable financial ratios (profitability, liquidity, leverage, market ratios) and scores (Z-Score, O-Score, Probit and D-Score) of all 77 textile companies were calculated then estimated scores were compared with cut-off point of respective model. Based on findings, models are categorized in two groups: (a) Group-I (Z-Score and O-Score), (b) Group-II (Probit  and D-Score). Results indicate that some of the textile firms are about to face financial distress in near future, which could ultimately lead those firms to bankruptcy. The findings of Group-I indicate that about 43% - 44% companies in the textile sector are in the phase of financial distress; whereas the results of Group-II reveal that about 8% - 16% companies are in financial distress phase. Thus, we could draw two conclusions: (1) the two models (Z-Score and O-Score) in Group-I were found to be robust for assessing financial distress and (2) the two models  (Probit  and D-Score) in Group-II were found to be less rigorous in forecasting financial distress. The previous studies attempted to compare the prediction accuracy of various models by examining the data of both financially distress firms and financially stable firms. But this study is aimed to foretell bankruptcy using comprehensive models (Z-Score, O-Score, Probit and D-Score), to compare the consistency of results across all four models of the study and to categorize financially stable and financially distress companies under each model. The findings of the study are expected to be beneficial at coutry level, firm level and indiviual level such as government and regulatory bodies of Pakistan can intervene to avert bankruptcy rate, management can devise appropriate strategies  to reduce financial distress. Moreover. investors can safeguard their investment by making right decissions based on the findings.
