Is it safe?
Nothing alarming, nothing pristine: comfortable debt (AA) and typical volatility.
Net cash and profitable. A rule of thumb on leverage, not a credit rating.
Moderate price swings, typical volatility. Worst drawdown -54% · now 31% 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 AEM take a bad year?
Agnico Eagle Mines Limited holds $2.67B more cash than debt, so a bad year is a question about profits, not about lenders.
