Is it safe?
Strong, no red flags: a safe balance sheet and comfortable debt (AA).
Financially healthy, low distress risk Altman Z-score, a bankruptcy-risk model from five balance-sheet ratios.
Rock-solid balance sheet, low leverage. A rule of thumb on leverage, not a credit rating.
Moderate price swings, typical volatility. Worst drawdown -31% · now 27% below its 52-week high.
