Financial distress prediction is an important and practical research topic for many stakeholders and has attracted extensive studies over the past decades. This paper investigates the challenging issue of financial distress in Vietnam by distinguishing “healthy” companies from “financially distressed” companies using a data sample of firms listed on the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange. Employing the logistic regression model to predict financial distress with a unique data set, we characterize the determinants of financial distress in terms of firm accounting and financial ratios over the period from 2007 to 2012. The results indicate that financial ratios can be employed as an early warning of financial distress as financial ratios are significantly correlated with the probability of firm financial distress.

This research aims to determine the level of the bankruptcy of the company and to see if the Altman ratio can predict the condition of corporate bankruptcy in mining companies on the Indonesia Stock Exchange because mining companies have a large role in the Indonesian economy. This study uses the Altman Z-Score model analysis to see how much the company's bankruptcy prediction and uses logistic regression to see how much the influence of the Altman ratio in predicting corporate bankruptcy. Keywords: financial distress, the Altman z–score, bankruptcy prediction

The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether or not firms that are taken into the surveillance market in Istanbul Stock Exchange are experiencing financial distress. The surveillance firms present irregular behaviors and have difficulty complying with current regulation. It can be expected that the basic reason behind these irregular behaviors is financial distress. Results of the study support this expectation and show that it is possible to predict financial distress one year in advance. Principal component analysis and discriminant analysis are combined in order to estimate an integrated early warning model for financial distress prediction.

   We examine whether the indicators of company governance procedures are associated with the risk of bankruptcy or financial distress in Indonesia. An empirical study we conducted using a causal model of corporate governance indicators in forecasting financial distress. The data used in this study is panel data. Using samples from assembling companies registered on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2017-2019 period, we obtained as many as 105 observations selected by the purposive sampling method. Our results indicate that financial distress can be predicted by corporate governance mechanisms, although statistically it is only proven by a few indicators in our study. Specifically, our results demonstrate that institutional ownership, managerial ownership, and independent commissioners do not affect financial distress. Furthermore, our study shows evidence of a significant influence between the size of the board of directors and audit committee on financial distress. Our interpretation is that research on financial distress prediction models using corporate governance indicators has provided empirical evidence.

This study aims to identify and analyze the influence of Current Ratio, Debt To Assets Ratio, Return on Assets, and Earning Per Share partially or simultaneously to the prediction of financial distress on customer goods companies listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange.The population in this study is a company customer goods listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2010-2012. Of the 36 listed companies, 32 companies selected samples using purposive sampling method. The data used in this research is secondary data, to gather the information needed from www.idx.co.id and Indonesian Capital Market Directory (ICMD). This study analyzed using logistic regression analysis. The conclusion that can be drawn from this study is that the Current Ratio, Debt To Assets Ratio, Return on Assets, and earning per share has an influence on the prediction of financial distress. While only partially Debt To Assets Ratio which has a significant influence on the prediction of financial distress while the three other independentvariables have no effect on financial distress prediction.

Financial distress prediction gives an early warning about defaulting risk for firms; thus, it is a real concern of the entire economy.Purpose: To examine the determinants of financial distress across MENA region countries, by using definitions of distress and historical data from active listed firms in the region.Methodology: logistic regression is run on firm-specific variables and a set of macroeconomic variables to develop a prediction model to examine the effect of these predictors on the probability of financial distress.Findings: it has been found that after controlling for country effects, accounting ratios, firm size, and macroeconomic variables provided an acceptable prediction model for listed MENA firms.Originality: a gap exists in the literature of developing countries’ prediction for financial distress. Many studies addressed bankruptcy prediction for a certain country in the region, however, a limited number of researches approached predicting distressed models for listed firms in the region.

This work presents a novel soft ensemble model (ANSEM) for financial distress prediction with different sample sizes. It integrates qualitative classifiers (expert system method, ES) and quantitative classifiers (convolutional neural network, CNN) based on the uni-int decision making method of soft set theory (UI). We introduce internet searches indices as new variables for financial distress prediction. By constructing a soft set representation of each classifier and then using the optimal decision on soft sets to identify the financial status of firms, ANSEM inherits advantages of ES, CNN, and UI. Empirical experiments with the real data set of Chinese listed firms demonstrate that the proposed ANSEM has superior predicting performance for financial distress on accuracy and stability with different sample sizes. Further discussions also show that internet searches indices can offer additional information to improve predicting performance.
