Is it safe?
Nothing alarming, nothing pristine: insiders quiet, heavy debt (B), and typical volatility.
Insiders were net sellers (-$72.6M, 90 days to Oct 8, 2026), selling is often routine.
Highly leveraged, watch solvency. A rule of thumb on leverage, not a credit rating.
Moderate price swings, typical volatility. Worst drawdown -34% · now 19% below its 52-week high.

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.
