ELPCCompanhia Paranaense de Energia
Is it safe?
Nothing alarming, nothing pristine: insiders quiet, heavy debt (CCC), and typical volatility.
Insiders were net sellers (-$174K, 90 days to Oct 22, 2026), selling is often routine.
Debt against weak or negative operating profit. A rule of thumb on leverage, not a credit rating.
Moderate price swings, typical volatility. Worst drawdown -32% · now 2% 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.
