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.

Corteva, Inc. earns a B (Sound & dependable) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 2.4, placing it in the Grey zone. 1 forensic signal was flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by return on invested capital.

What the filings flag

4.9%
FY2025
Return on invested capital. Return on invested capital is 4.9% in the latest fiscal year and steady across FY2023–FY2025, inside a 1.3-point range. After-tax operating profit was $1.1B in FY2023 and $1.3B in FY2025. The capital base behind it went from $30.1B in FY2023 to $27.4B in FY2025 (-9%), while the revenue it carried went from $17.2B to $17.4B. FY2023's operating profit carried a $336M restructuring charge that alone took about 1.0 points off that year's return, so about 1.0 of the 1.1-point rise across FY2023–FY2025 is that charge leaving the base year rather than the capital earning more.
