The Piotroski score (financial health 0-9, higher is better) is 4 — which is average. Debt relative to equity is 490% (high).

Tech companies are usually asset-light and need little borrowed capital — anything below 60% counts as low in this sector. Note: D/E levels are highly sector-specific — a bank at 300% debt is normal, a tech stock at 300% is extremely leveraged. Always compare with similar companies in the same sector. Can ADTRAN service its debt? Could struggle to service its debt — the interest coverage ratio (how many times earnings can cover interest payments) is -0.9x, and net debt equals 1.7 years of earnings (EBITDA).
