What is the Hudson Labs Forensic risk score?

Hudson Labs is well known for our proprietary forensic risk scores. These scores are unique because they rely entirely on non-numeric data in assessing the likelihood of fraud or malfeasance, providing a unique and significantly higher quality predictor of downside risk. Investors, insurers and accounting firms use our scores to find and avoid potential bad actors. 

Hudson Labs risk scores are machine learned, not additive. The scores are calculated using Hudson Labs’ AI-extracted red flags and reflect the interaction of these red flags/risks. Risk scores range from 1 to 100 (low risk to high risk).

Scores above 70 are considered high risk. Fewer than 10% of mid/large-cap issuers receive a Hudson Labs forensic risk score above 70. Companies with a high score have about a 1 in 3 chance of receiving an SEC enforcement action in the next three years. Scores from 60 to 70 are considered medium-high.

Risk scores are optimized for precision over recall. This means that high risk companies are very likely to experience future issues, but low risk companies may not all be in fact low risk. 

Initial high risk scores tend to precede price collapse by at least 6 months. Risk scores are trained using 10+ years of SEC enforcement actions, regulatory investigations related to fraud, settled class action lawsuits and other target labels related to earnings management and malfeasance.

Hudson Labs risk scores predict fraud-related class action litigation. For example, we spotlighted Super Micro’s "hidden in plain view" risks two years before the stock freefall in 2024. See more case studies here.
