DAKTDaktronics, Inc.
Is it safe?
Mostly sound, with a caveat: comfortable debt (AA), but big price swings.
Net cash and profitable. A rule of thumb on leverage, not a credit rating.
Large price swings, high volatility. Worst drawdown -82% · now 35% 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.
Can DAKT take a bad year?
