Is it safe?
Forensics clean, with a caveat: a safe balance sheet, but heavy debt (BB) and big price swings.
Financially healthy, low distress risk Altman Z-score, a bankruptcy-risk model from five balance-sheet ratios.
Insiders were net sellers (-$1.2M, 90 days to Oct 8, 2026), selling is often routine.
Net cash, but unprofitable, speculative. A rule of thumb on leverage, not a credit rating.
Large price swings, high volatility. Worst drawdown -89% · now 30% below its 52-week high.
Unless marked, from SEC EDGAR, as of Sep 30, 2025.
