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.

Concrete Pumping Holdings, Inc. earns a D (Weak — demands caution) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 0.9, placing it in the Distress zone. 2 forensic signals were flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by return on invested capital.

What the filings flag

3.4%

FY2025

Return on invested capital. Return on invested capital is 3.4% in the latest fiscal year and slipping across FY2023–FY2025 from 6.0%. After-tax operating profit was $48M in FY2023 and $27M in FY2025, with operating income at 13.9% of revenue in FY2023, 11.6% in FY2024 and 10.6% in FY2025. The capital base behind it went from $805M in FY2023 to $791M in FY2025 (-2%), while the revenue it carried went from $442M to $393M.

384% of FCF

FY2025

Shareholder returns. Returned $67M to shareholders (buybacks + dividends) in FY2025 — 384% of free cash flow. That is $50M (284%) more than free cash flow covered, and more than operating cash flow as well. New debt covered part of it: total debt rose $45M over FY2025, while cash rose $1M — $43M of the $50M. The FY2025 cash-flow statement filed $425M of debt issued against $375M repaid; $9M from sales of property and equipment; net cash used in investing activities of $37M; net cash used in financing activities of $26M. A payout past free cash flow draws the balance sheet down in every year it continues, which isn't sustainable indefinitely. Counting the $2M of stock-based comp paid out in shares on top of that, the combined claim on free cash flow is 396%.
