A kurtosis value of -11.56 indicates a platykurtic distribution, which has flatter tails and a wider, more moderate peak compared to a normal distribution (mesokurtic). Leptokurtic distributions have positive kurtosis values and are more peaked with fatter tails. Skewness is unrelated to kurtosis and describes the asymmetry of the distribution, not its peakedness or tail thickness.
