ANFAbercrombie & Fitch Co.
Is it safe?
Forensics clean, with a caveat: a safe balance sheet, but big price swings.
Financially healthy, low distress risk Altman Z-score, a bankruptcy-risk model from five balance-sheet ratios.
Insiders were net sellers (-$10.6M, 90 days to Oct 8, 2026), selling is often routine.
Large price swings, high volatility. Worst drawdown -72% · now 6% below its 52-week high.
Unless marked, from SEC EDGAR, as of Jan 31, 2026.

Where this answer is blind. Altman sits structurally low for utilities and pipelines; Beneish runs high for fast growers, since sales growth alone lifts it; banks and REITs are excluded.
