LIVNLivaNova PLC
Is it safe?
Nothing alarming, nothing pristine: insiders quiet, comfortable debt (AA), and typical volatility.
Insiders were net sellers (-$800K, 90 days to Oct 8, 2026), selling is often routine.
Net cash and profitable. A rule of thumb on leverage, not a credit rating.
Moderate price swings, typical volatility. Worst drawdown -74% · now 11% 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 LIVN take a bad year?
LivaNova PLC holds $227M more cash than debt, so a bad year is a question about profits, not about lenders.
