Why LBTYK Stock advanced +1.05% Today — RQD Quant Desk Flash

Per the Roarable RQD rating, LBTYK scores 34 out of 100 with a letter grade of E, labeled "Roarable Strong Sell — Forensic Risk / Avoid." The five pillars are: Fundamental Cash Engine at 9/20 (ROIC -0.1%; FCF yield 0%); Whale 13F Flow at 3/20 (institutional accumulation and options positioning); Insider Conviction at 6/20 (SEC Form 4 and Congressional PTR cluster flow); Macro Regime Fit at 6/20 (Beta 1.0; sector sensitivity); and Forensic Balance Sheet at 10/20 (Altman Z 0.66; Piotroski F 7/9; Debt/Equity 0.8). Each pillar is scored out of 20, and the weakest signals are the institutional flow and cash engine pillars. For a prospective investor evaluating the stock today, the rating points to limited support on cash generation and institutional conviction, with the Altman Z-Score below the level commonly associated with distress in the source's own framing, offset partly by a relatively stronger Piotroski reading. The rating does not include valuation multiples that the source data omits, so any judgment on whether the current price reflects fair value cannot be drawn from this rating alone.

Per the SEC financials, revenue rose from $4115.8M (FY 2023) to $4878.5M (FY 2025), while operating income was negative across all three periods and net income swung from $-3874.0M to $1646.0M and back to $-7097.0M.

Per the Roarable RQD rating, the Altman Z-Score is 0.66 and the Piotroski F-Score is 7/9, with Debt/Equity at 0.8. Reported debt declined from $8177.9M (FY 2024) to $7805.4M (FY 2025), and cash rose to $2081.4M.
