But the risk rarely occurs if a company is doing well.

HP Ink are under pressure from all quarters, but particularly in enterprise printing as Canon is surging. Long term, PC's/laptops are declining, the consumer printing market is declining and HP Ink needs to downsize to match their revenue.

Add in $4.5bn in bank loans and EBT being significantly lower than net earnings and I can see why investors/banks are nervous and looking for an exit strategy...
