Banks, insurers, and other financials hold few plants and little inventory, so a physical-asset screen is a poor fit. The ratios below are still the latest annual figures. Capex is 0.00x depreciation while free cash flow yield is positive, which can mean an aging base that is still throwing off cash. That coverage ratio uses interest only, because short-term debt was not on the balance sheet.
