This free snapshot doesn't read filing or proxy text, so the auditor-quality and governance checks that can lower a grade were not evaluated (auditor quality, say on pay, board independence, going concern). Those checks only ever lower a grade, so the full analysis can land below the grade above but never above it — treat it as the most favourable reading, not the settled one.

Arcosa, Inc. earns a B (Sound & dependable) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 3.1, placing it in the Safe zone. 1 forensic signal was flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by return on invested capital.

What the filings flag

6.9%
FY2025
Return on invested capital. Return on invested capital is 6.9% in the latest fiscal year, against 5.8% in FY2023, having run between 3.9% and 6.9% across FY2023–FY2025 with no direction held. After-tax operating profit was $177M in FY2023 and $295M in FY2025, with operating income at 9.4% of revenue in FY2023, 7.7% in FY2024 and 11.9% in FY2025. The capital base behind it grew +39% across FY2023–FY2025, from $3.0B to $4.2B, and the return did not fall doing it, so the dollars added over that window earned at least the 5.8% the older base was already earning.
