Risk signals extracted deterministically from American Tower Corp.’s SEC 10-K/10-Q XBRL filings — no LLM, every finding cites the underlying data.

  • Going concern doubt: The term "going concern" appears in 16 recent filing(s) (vs 3 in the prior period). This risk language is ongoing.
  • Operating cash flow exceeds net income: OCF is 3.82x net income, indicating high earnings quality — cash conversion is strong and accruals are not inflating reported profits.
