FMCFMC Corporation
Is it safe?
Solid, nothing alarming: heavy debt (CCC) and big price swings.
Mixed, watch the balance sheet Altman Z-score, a bankruptcy-risk model from five balance-sheet ratios.
Insiders were net sellers (-$16K, 90 days to Oct 8, 2026), selling is often routine.
Debt against weak or negative operating profit. A rule of thumb on leverage, not a credit rating.
Large price swings, high volatility. Worst drawdown -93% · now 76% below its 52-week high.
Unless marked, from SEC EDGAR, as of Dec 31, 2025.

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.
