From Form 4 filings: insiders must report trades in their own company's shares within two days.

Warning signs in its filings

Problems the company itself reported to the SEC, in its own words.

None of the warning signs we check for were found.

We look for five warning signs: doubt it can keep going, weak checks on its own accounts, a notice that its past accounts can't be relied on, a change of auditor, and one customer bringing in a big share of sales. We don't check lawsuits, investigations or debt yet.

We checked the auditor's report, internal controls, restatement notices, auditor changes and big customers in the 10-K filed 19 Feb 2026, plus the 10-Q filed 6 Aug 2026 and 9 later 8-Ks.

A 10-K is the yearly report every US company files with the SEC. An 8-K is a short notice of a big event.

What could go wrong

Cheap for a reason is the question the numbers cannot answer.

Whether the price already reflects the risks is what the deep dive is for.

What changed in the risks this year

Companies must list what could hurt them each year. These are the parts that changed since last year’s report.

    Could happen
    CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2025 AI is an emerging area of technology that has the potential to impact various aspects of the Companies’ business operations and customer interactions. Generative AI technologies are still in their early stages of development and deployment. Ineffective or inadequate AI development or deployment practices by the Companies or third-party vendors could result in unintended consequences. While the Companies seek contractual protections with third-party vendors regarding the use of AI technology, the Companies may not have full awareness of, or control or visibility over, the quality, performance, security or compliance of the products and services that incorporate AI-related technology used by such vendors. AI algorithms that the Companies or their third-party vendors use may be flawed or may be based on datasets that are biased or insufficient. These limitations or failures, or inaccurate results generated as a result of the Companies’ employees’, contractors’ or vendors’ use or misuse of AI technologies could lead to operational interruptions or otherwise adversely affect the Companies’ businesses, reputation or financial results. Developing, testing, and deploying resource-intensive AI systems may require additional investment and increase the Companies’ costs. In addition, the rapidly evolving nature of AI technologies may cause new laws and regulations to be enacted which could dramatically affect business practices, including the costs to comply with such new laws and regulations. The future development of AI technologies and the nature of any related new laws and regulations, and their costs and consequences, cannot be reasonably predicted at this time.
