Evolution of the bankruptcy rate indicator in the chemical segment in Slovakia in the context of the pandemic

Summary/Abstract: The pandemic has forced many businesses to shut down or reduce their operations, leading to a decline in revenue and profits. The aim of this research is to analyze the financial health of selected companies in Slovakia using Altman Z-score and to determine how the COVID-19 epidemic has affected their financial stability, and to provide insights into the companies’ financial conditions and to help investors and other stakeholders make informed decisions. The Altman Z-score is a financial ratio that is used to predict a company’s likelihood of bankruptcy. It provides a practical tool for companies to measure their financial health and take appropriate action to address any issues that may arise. The COVID-19 pandemic did have an impact on the financial health of companies, but it was not significant enough to cause a bankruptcy risk for any of them. This research highlights the importance of regular financial analysis for businesses to maintain financial health and avoid the risk of bankruptcy.
