Is it safe?
One accounting flag to check: an accounting pattern worth a look (common in fast growers) and big price swings.
Several accounting flags in the manipulation-likely range Beneish M-score, a forensic model that detects earnings-manipulation patterns (receivables outrunning sales, margins slipping, accrual-heavy profit).
Mixed fundamental signals Piotroski F-score, nine pass/fail tests of year-over-year financial health across profitability, balance sheet and efficiency. 7 to 9 is strong, 0 to 3 weak.
Large price swings, high volatility. Worst drawdown -89% · now 60% below its 52-week high.
Unless marked, from SEC EDGAR, as of Mar 31, 2026.
