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 (red flags, auditor quality, say on pay, board independence). 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.

Corsair Gaming, Inc. earns a C (Mixed — selective) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 3.7, placing it in the Safe zone. 4 forensic signals were flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by return on invested capital.

What the filings flag

0.2%

FY2025

Return on invested capital. Return on invested capital is 0.2% in the latest fiscal year and rising from -5% — well below its ~10% cost of capital, so reinvested dollars may be destroying value, not building it.

+3.3%/yr

FY2022–FY2025

Share-count dilution. Diluted share count changed +10% over the last 3 years to FY2025 (+3.3%/yr). The count is growing: more stock was issued than repurchased over this window, so aggregate results grew faster than their per-share equivalents. That's ~3.3% shaved off per-share growth every year — total profit has to grow that much just to keep earnings-per-share flat, and a stake held since FY2022 has been diluted ~9%.

98d

FY2024→FY2025

Inventory days. Days inventory outstanding moved from 92 to 98 FY2024→FY2025 (against cost of goods sold; inventory +17% vs +6% in cost of sales). Inventory is building a little faster than sales — watch for markdowns.

2% of rev

FY2025

Stock-based comp load. Stock-based compensation ran 2% of revenue and 95% of free cash flow in FY2025 — about $0.31 per diluted share. The cost of it is not in the cash flow — no cash left the business — it is in the count, and there it has run at about 3.4% a year and is falling.
