EDConsolidated Edison
Is it safe?
Strong, no red flags: insiders buying, comfortable debt (AA), and steady price behavior.
Mixed, watch the balance sheet Altman Z-score, a bankruptcy-risk model from five balance-sheet ratios.
Insiders were net buyers (+$111, 90 days to Oct 8, 2026). SEC Form 4 filings: officers and directors must report their own trades within two business days.
Rock-solid balance sheet, low leverage. A rule of thumb on leverage, not a credit rating.
Relatively steady, low volatility. Worst drawdown -31% · now 7% below its 52-week high.
Unless marked, from SEC EDGAR, as of Dec 31, 2025.

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.
