The results of the study show that PT Express Transindo Utama Tbk experienced a continuous decline in financial condition during the study period. Based on the Altman (Z-Score) method, the company was in the gray zone category from 2015 to 2016 and the distress zone from 2017 to 2024. Meanwhile, the Zmijewski method (X-Score) classifies companies as potentially bankrupt in 2016 – 2020, and healthy in 2015 and 2021 – 2024.
