Is it safe?
Nothing alarming, nothing pristine: insiders quiet, comfortable debt (BBB), and typical volatility.
Insiders were net sellers (-$3.0M, 90 days to Oct 8, 2026), selling is often routine.
Investment-grade balance sheet. A rule of thumb on leverage, not a credit rating.
Moderate price swings, typical volatility. Worst drawdown -89% · now 30% 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.
