Is it safe?
Solid, nothing alarming: clean books, but heavy debt (BB) and big price swings.
Reported earnings show no manipulation flags Beneish M-score, a forensic model that detects earnings-manipulation patterns (receivables outrunning sales, margins slipping, accrual-heavy profit).
Mixed fundamental signals Piotroski F-score, nine pass/fail tests of year-over-year financial health across profitability, balance sheet and efficiency. 7 to 9 is strong, 0 to 3 weak.
Insiders were net sellers (-$450.3M, 90 days to Oct 9, 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 -77% · now 65% below its 52-week high.
Unless marked, from SEC EDGAR, as of Jan 31, 2026.
Against the whole market›
Percentile against every name Ryufin tracks. Higher is better; the tick marks the middle of the market. Context, not one of the checks above.
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.
Can CRWD take a bad year?
CrowdStrike holds $4.27B more cash than debt, so a bad year is a question about profits, not about lenders.
