Koppers Holdings makes treated wood products, railroad crossties and carbon materials, a business carrying meaningful leverage that is costly to service at current rates, alongside long-tail environmental liabilities from its chemical operations. The quant profile is balanced but those structural items are not visible in it. No default or restatement is known, so this is a flag.
