EGHT8x8, Inc.
Is it safe?
Caution warranted: heavy debt (BB) and big price swings.
Moderately leveraged. A rule of thumb on leverage, not a credit rating.
Large price swings, high volatility. Worst drawdown -96% · now 22% 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.
