What are the financial strengths and risks for Zai Lab (ZLAB)?
Short answer
The MoonshotScore pillars rate positive momentum as strengths. What is holding it back is balance-sheet strain. The distress and quality screens read Altman Z 0.54 · Piotroski F 2. Trailing ratios: ROE -27.4% · ROA -17.5% · current ratio 2.13 · earnings yield -6.4% · free-cash-flow yield -4.5%.
Data-derived red flags
- Financial-distress signal — its Altman Z-Score of 0.54 sits in the distress zone (elevated bankruptcy risk).
- Negative return on equity (-27.4%) — the business is not currently generating profit on shareholder capital.
- Weak fundamentals — a Piotroski F-Score of 2/9 flags soft profitability, leverage or efficiency.

How does Zai Lab compare with its peers?
Short answer
Zai Lab's score ranks 13th of 13 in the bounded comparison shown, against 12 same-model peers. These are company scores, not expected investment returns. The set lists named competitors first, then companies in the same data-provider industry classification closest in market value; that classification is the provider's, not our judgment of business similarity.

Sources — records for every figure on this page (21 figures)
The 21 rows below are exactly the facts the evidence-backed sections of this page printed — the 10-second verdict, the MoonshotScore, price and market value, the five questions with their receipts, and the records behind this page. Known dates and sources are recorded on their own rows; an em dash or UNRECORDED tier preserves a stored observation without inventing either. The quarterly income statement is provider-standardized (FMP) under one row, and scale definitions — a 0-100 rating, the band ladder, the Piotroski 0–9 range — are fixed rather than measured. No number in those sections was generated by a model. The register does not cover quoted third-party headlines, the dated council readings, or the Frequently Asked Questions; each of those says where it came from where it stands.
"As of" is the date the value is true for where the source carries one — a quarter end, a filing date, a price close, the day the score was computed. A cached observation with no source date remains undated; the page publication date is not used as a substitute.
